Example methods and systems to perform a migration of a virtualized computing instance and its first snapshot hierarchy from a first object store to a second object store have been disclosed. One example method includes identifying a first disk chain of the first snapshot hierarchy having an object running point, identifying a second disk chain of the first snapshot hierarchy different from the first disk chain, and migrating the second disk chain from the first object store to the second object store to form a first branch of a second snapshot hierarchy in the second object store. After the migrating, the example method includes instructing to take a first native snapshot on the object running point in the second object store, instructing to revert the object running point along the first branch and migrating the first disk chain from the first object store to the second object store.
