Abstract
Systems and methods for performing replication operations on a continuous data protection system. Exemplary methods include identifying a pseudosnapshot relating to a point in time in a series of transactions stored on a continuous data protection system, surfacing a copy of at least a portion of the series of transactions saved before the point in time to which the pseudosnapshot relates, and sending the surfaced copy to (1) a remote computer such that the surfaced copy can be read to perform analysis on the surfaced copy, (2) a remote server to be stored on a remote storage device, or (3) a mirror storage device to store a first mirrored copy.
