Abstract:
An identification of a new primary snapshot created for a primary storage system is received. A threshold time window based on a capture time associated with the new primary snapshot is determined. Entries of a storage log of the primary storage system occurring within the threshold time window are analyzed to identify any objects of the primary storage system that have changed during the threshold time window. Changed objects to capture in a new secondary backup stored at a secondary storage system and corresponding to the new primary snapshot are identified. Metadata of the new primary snapshot and metadata of a previous secondary backup are compared to determine for each of the objects of the primary storage system identified as having changed during the threshold time window whether a change to an object since the previous secondary backup is captured in the new primary snapshot.
