Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors coupled to computer memory, wherein the one or more hardware processors are configured to execute computer programming instructions that cause the system to:
during a block-level backup operation of primary data, wherein the block-level backup operation generates a backup copy of the primary data and stores the backup copy to secondary storage, identify first data blocks being backed up that are suitable to store in a data storage area coupled to one of the one or more hardware processors, wherein the data storage area is distinct from the secondary storage;
store the first data blocks into the data storage area during one or more of: generating the backup copy, live browsing the backup copy, and file indexing the backup copy;
indicate in a first index of the data storage area that the first data blocks are stored in the data storage area; and
after the block-level backup operation, during one or more of: a live browsing of the backup copy, a file indexing of the backup copy, and a file-level restore of the backup copy, read at least one of the first data blocks from the data storage area, based on using the first index to determine that the at least one of the first data blocks is stored in the data storage area.
