Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors for:
performing, while a stream of Input/Output operations (IOs) is being applied to a source dataset at the same time as the source dataset is being replicated to a target dataset, operations comprising:
receiving a replicated IO that was previously applied to a source dataset tree;
applying the replicated IO to a target dataset tree by entering an updated hash value in the target dataset tree, wherein applying a timestamp to the target dataset tree comprises associating the timestamp with a root hash of the target dataset tree; and
applying a timestamp to the target dataset tree, wherein the timestamp is a single value; and

checking for consistency between the source dataset and the target dataset as of a specific Point-in Time (PiT).
