Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for performing a backup, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a native view request to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) for a local file system stored on the computing device;
intercepting, by a backup agent executing on the computing device, the native view request before the GUI is generated;
obtaining, by the backup agent and in response to intercepting the native view request before the GUI is generated:
a file system backup metadata associated with the local file system from a backup storage device, and
a local file system metadata associated with the local file system from a local storage of the computing device;

generating, by the backup agent, a combined file system content list using the file system backup metadata and the local file system metadata;
generating, by the backup agent, the GUI using the combined file system content list, wherein the GUI comprises a graphical representation of the combined file system content list; and
displaying, on a display of the computing device and to a user, the GUI.
