A computer-implemented method for creating consolidated backups of snapshot hierarchies may include identifying a hierarchy of snapshots. The computer-implemented method may also include copying data in a root snapshot of the hierarchy to a backup. The computer-implemented method may further include, for each child snapshot in the hierarchy, copying valid data in the child snapshot to the backup. The computer-implemented method may additionally include copying information that identifies a parent of the child snapshot to the backup. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
