Claim 0:
1. A method for operating a data management system, comprising:
acquiring, from a primary system, a full snapshot of a virtual machine of the primary system, the full snapshot corresponding with a first state of the virtual machine at a first point in time;
acquiring, from the primary system, one or more incremental snapshots of the virtual machine, the one or more incremental snapshots corresponding with one or more states of the virtual machine at one or more points in time different from the first point in time;
generating, at the data management system, a directly mountable version of the virtual machine corresponding to a point in time associated with at least one of the full snapshot or one of the one or more incremental snapshots;
receiving, at the data management system, a request to mount the directly mountable version of the virtual machine; and
causing the primary system to directly mount the directly mountable version of the virtual machine from the data management system to allow the primary system to read, from the data management system, data associated with the directly mountable version of the virtual machine maintained at the data management system, modify, at the data management system, the data associated with the directly mountable version of the virtual machine maintained at the data management system, or both.
