A computer-implemented method, at least a portion of the method being performed by a backup computing system configured to backup data from first and second protected systems, may include receiving a request to restore data of the first protected system. The computer-implemented method may also include determining that at least a first portion of the data to be restored is located on the second protected system. The computer-implemented method may further include instructing the second protected system to send at least the first portion of the data to a recovery system. Another computer-implemented method may include receiving a request to create a clone of a first computing system, determining that data to be cloned is located on a second computing system, and instructing the second computing system to send the data to the clone. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
