Abstract
A computer-implemented method for replicating snapshots across backup domains may include 1) identifying a replication of a snapshot from a source storage device within a source domain to a target storage device within a target domain, 2) identifying a source master system within the source domain and a target master system within the target domain, 3) identifying metadata for managing the snapshot at the source master system, and 4) transmitting the metadata from the source master system to the target master system using a master-to-master communication channel that is separate from a communication channel used for the replication. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
