Abstract

A computer-implemented method for measuring compliance with a recovery point objective for an application may include identifying a set of mount points on a primary site written to by the application. The computer-implemented method may also include identifying a second site used for asynchronous replication of the primary site. The computer-implemented method may further include periodically updating a time value on each mount point in the set of mount points on the primary site. The computer-implemented method may additionally include, for each mount point in the set of mount points, measuring a replication lag by calculating a difference between the time value on the mount point and a replication of the time value on a corresponding mount point on the secondary site. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
