Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods that can integrate resources at a disaster recovery site are provided. One method includes generating, on a primary site, a set of storage snapshots based on combining another set of storage snapshots and incremental changes to mirrored data on a backup site in which the storage snapshots include a second snapshot format utilized on the backup site. The method further includes converting the set of storage snapshots from the second snapshot format to a first snapshot format utilized on the primary site to generate a yet another set of storage snapshots and converting, on the backup site, a set of storage snapshots including the incremental changes and the second snapshot format to the first snapshot format to generate still another set of eighth storage snapshots. The storage snapshots on both sites represent the same data in the same snapshot format without bulk data transfer.
