US Patent 11681652 Methods, electronic devices and computer program products for accessing data

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, electronic devices and computer program products for accessing data. A method comprises receiving, at a first device, a file system operation request for accessing target data, the target data being stored at a second device after being pre-processed, and the first device providing a file system interface for data stored at the second device; forwarding the file system operation request to the second device, such that the target data is restored at the second device; receiving the restored target data from the second device; and providing the target data as a response to the file system operation request. Embodiments of the present disclosure allow users to access backup data stored after being pre-processed through normal file system operations and can achieve high data access performance.
