DATABASE RESTORATION ACROSS CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A method of restoring a database across cloud environments is provided. An example method includes receiving, in a second cloud environment from a first cloud environment, first metadata describing a first data version stored in the first cloud environment. The first metadata describes where first data items are located within the first data version stored in the first cloud environment, includes an access procedure or protocol such that the second cloud environment can access the first data items, and includes authorization information necessary to confirm that the second cloud environment is authorized to access the first data items. In response to an instruction, the first data items are restored to the second cloud environment using the first metadata.
