Abstract

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for leveraging secondary storage for primary storage snapshots. The method includes creating a current first snapshot of a volume at a current first time in a primary storage. The method then may determine differences between the current first snapshot at the current first time and a previous second snapshot created at a previous second time. The differences then may be sent to a secondary storage.
