Abstract
Techniques manage snapshots in an application environment. The application environment includes a first application system and a second application system. A group of snapshots of the first application system are identified in a fracture state where synchronous communication between the first application system and the second application system is paused. A group of snapshot differences between two successive snapshots in the group of snapshots are obtained, the group of snapshots being arranged in chronological order that the group of snapshots are generated. The group of snapshot differences are transmitted from the first application system to the second application system in response to determining the synchronous communication between the first application system and the second application system is resumed. Accordingly, snapshots in the application environment can be managed more effectively, and further data synchronization between the first application system and the second application system may be realized.
