The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “In an embodiment, a computing system may restore data for a protected system using an emulated block device that presents a synthesized filesystem. Initially, a request to restore data for the protected system may be received. The request may include or otherwise indicate a particular file system format, a particular virtual disk format, and a recovery point representing a particular point in time for presentation of the restored data. Responsive and subsequent to receiving the request to restore the data, the computing system generates a first configuration of the emulated block device for presenting the synthesized filesystem, the first configuration being based on: a) an amount of data in the recovery point, b) the particular file system format, and c) the particular virtual disk format. The computing system also generates a configuration for the synthesized filesystem, and provides access to the emulated block device based on the determined configurations.”

The patent application was filed on November 24, 2021 (17/456,514).
