1. A method for performing data storage operations, comprising: performing a first storage operation on an information store associated with a first device in accordance with a storage policy, wherein the storage policy defines schedules for performing one or more of a full-backup or a snapshot-backup for each of the first computing device and a second computing device; wherein performing the first storage operation includes generating first metadata associated with the full-backup or with the snapshot-backup of the information store associated with the first device, wherein the first metadata is associated with a first operating system of the first computing device; performing a second storage operation on an information store associated with the second device in accordance with the storage policy, wherein performing the second storage operation includes generating second metadata associated with the full-backup or with the snapshot-backup of the information store associated with the second device, wherein the second metadata is associated with a second operating system of the second computing device; converting the first metadata and the second metadata to a common data format, wherein the converting occurs after the full-backup or the snapshot-backup of either the first computing device or the second computing device; providing a restoration interface for accessing results of both the first storage operation and the second storage operation using the common data format of the first metadata and the second metadata.
