Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product efficiently select restore points in a continuous data protection environment. The method includes receiving log entries that include restore points that correspond to data stored on nodes in the continuous data protection environment. The method also includes identifying an interesting restore point from the log entries. The method further includes grouping the interesting restore point for recovery based on one or more of a confidence score and a restore time. In addition, the method includes loading the group of interesting restore points on available nodes in the continuous data protection environment. The method also includes determining whether the data corresponding to each interesting restore point in the group is valid using a validation function. Lastly, the method includes discarding the interesting restore point when the data corresponding to the interesting restore point is not valid.
