Systems and methods of backing up data to a replication target such that the data is recoverable from the replication target when a source application and one or more other intermediary replication targets are unavailable. A first deduplicated data object associated with an application is received at a first intermediary copy data management system based on a first schedule. The first deduplicated data object is replicated to generate at least one of a second deduplicated data object at a second copy data management system according to a second schedule.
