Abstract
An example method of managing and storing data includes pulling and saving a first snapshot of a first state of a target machine running on a cloud service and creating a first virtual machine (VM) package associated with the first snapshot. The first VM package sufficient to instantiate a VM emulating the target machine with the first state on an on-premise destination VM platform. The method includes pulling and saving a second snapshot of a second state of the target machine, wherein the second state occurs after the first state. A second VM package is created and associated with the second snapshot, the second VM package sufficient to instantiate the VM emulating the target machine with the second state on the destination VM platform. The second VM package is created by updating the first VM package according to differences between the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
