1. A method for copying backup data, the method comprising: providing an appliance in communication with a legacy backup server and a second server, which also stores backup data, wherein the legacy backup server has a first type of interface and the second server has a second type of interface; a processor of the appliance generating a virtualized directory representing the backup data in both the legacy backup server and the second server, wherein generating the virtualized directory includes: scanning for one or more servers in communication with a network; in response to the scanning, locating the legacy backup server; sending a backup query to the located legacy backup server through the first type of interface; receiving a response indicating that the legacy backup server has stored thereon a backup object; mapping the one or more backup objects into the virtualized directory; converting the backup object onto the second server; eliminating access to the legacy backup server for the backup object; the processor receiving a read request directed to the legacy backup server; the processor intercepting the read request; and the processor presenting the virtualized directory, wherein the virtualized directory represents at least one backup object stored in the legacy backup server.
