Abstract
Techniques for backing up application-consistent data using asynchronous replication are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for backing up application-consistent data comprising receiving a backup request to backup application data and storing the application data in a volume of storage space. The method may also comprise taking a snapshot of the application data stored in the volume of storage space and quiescing, via a quiescing module comprising at least one computer processor, the snapshot of the application data stored in the volume of storage space. The method further comprise transmitting application-consistent data, wherein the application-consistent data may comprise the application data stored in the volume of storage space and the quiesced snapshot of the application data stored in the volume of storage space.
