Abstract
Technologies are described herein for skipping snapshots during a snapshot replication process in order to maintain an established recovery point objective. A first snapshot is selected after a previously replicated snapshot. A creation time of the first snapshot is retrieved. A difference between a current time and the creation time of the first snapshot is computed. A determination is made as to whether the difference is less than a recovery point objective. If the difference is less than a recovery point objective, then the first snapshot is replicated in the snapshot replicated process. If the difference is not less than a recovery point objective, then the first snapshot is skipped through the snapshot replication process.
