Abstract
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.
