Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving an identification of a new primary snapshot created for a primary storage system;
determining a change tracking time window that is at least a portion of a period between a first capture time associated with a previous primary snapshot and a second capture time associated with the new primary snapshot;
analyzing entries of a storage log of the primary storage system occurring within the change tracking time window to coalesce changes identified in the entries of the storage log occurring within the change tracking time window into a change tracking result set, wherein analyzing the entries of the storage log of the storage system occurring within the change tracking time window includes traversing in the new primary snapshot a directory associated with an object linked to an event in the storage log and analyzing the previous primary snapshot to verify the event in the storage log; and
using the change tracking result set to identify at least a portion of data changes between the previous primary snapshot and the new primary snapshot to capture in a new backup snapshot stored at a secondary storage system.
