Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for disaster recovery from binary large objects, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising: identifying a volume of data to be protected; identifying a binary large object storage system, wherein the binary large object storage system is a part of a third-party cloud computing platform; replicating the volume to the binary large object storage system by writing to a binary large object file on the binary large object storage system to be readable as a consumable virtual disk that represents the volume, wherein replicating the volume comprises determining that the volume uses a compression technique and replicating data from the volume to a queue on the third-party cloud computing platform for decompression before writing the data to the binary large object file; mounting the consumable virtual disk directly from the binary large object file.
