Systems and methods to export a database from a foreign database recovery environment are described. The system includes the foreign database recovery environment that includes a backup host that receives the database from a source host operating in a native database recovery environment. The backup host utilizes foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for restoring the database. The backup host receives export information. The export information includes a target host, a point-in-time, and a database name identifying the database for export from the backup host to the target host. The backup host initiates a job that generates script information, creates directories, materializes file information, and communicates the script information and the file information, via the directories, to the target host.
