Abstract
Described embodiments provide systems and methods for verifying replicas of a storage system. A replica of a production site of the storage system is generated. A hash value associated with the generated replica is also generated. The replica is provided to a cloud backup provider. The hash value associated with the generated replica is provided to a blockchain in communication with the production site and the cloud backup provider. The blockchain may be employed to verify the replica.
