RECOVERING A SPECIFIED SET OF DOCUMENTS FROM A DATABASE BACKUP

Techniques and systems for restoring objects from a backup file without restoring a remainder of the backup file are described. For example, a plurality of object identifiers that identify a plurality of objects stored in the backup file may be determined. A selection of an object identifier of the plurality of object identifiers may be received. A set of objects to be restored from the backup file may be determined based on the object identifier. The set of objects may be granularly restored to a staging database directly from the backup file, without restoring a remainder of the backup file. The set of objects may be migrated from the staging database to a production database.
