The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting data may include (i) detecting that a data storage protection protocol for backing up a virtual machine is switching from a hypervisor native snapshot solution to a continuous data protection solution, (ii) toggling, at a specific toggling time, an input/output tap to switch to the continuous data protection solution, (iii) capturing, at a specific snapshot time and in response to switching to the continuous data protection solution, an incremental snapshot that includes differences in the virtual machine between a last snapshot captured prior to the specific toggling time and the specific snapshot time, and (iv) generating a synthetic snapshot based on a combination of the incremental snapshot captured at the specific snapshot time and a set of at least one snapshot taken prior to the specific toggling time. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
