Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method for storing data pages of a database in a remote storage. The method includes receiving a write request associated with one or more data pages of the database. The method further includes storing, in a first storage layer having a write ahead log, the write request associated with the one or more data pages. The method further includes storing, in a first write buffer, the received write request associated with the one or more data pages that each include a legacy data page identifier. The method further includes storing, in a second storage layer having a second write buffer, a sorted string table (SST) of the received write request. The method further includes storing, in a top level of a log structured merge (LSM) tree disposed in the remote storage, the SST from the second write buffer.

Described are techniques for creating a point-in-time backup of application data stored on disparate storage systems. The techniques include initiating a snapshot of the first datastore. The techniques further include initiating a suspension of delete operations at the second datastore to preserve immutable application data stored on the second datastore. The techniques further include initiating a background copy of the second datastore. The techniques further include initiating a resumption of the delete operations at the second datastore in response to completion of the background copy of the second datastore.
