Management of production volume restore over remote replication

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor that is operatively coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured to perform operations of:
• providing a first production volume of a storage system, the first production volume associated with an object identifier and a first snapshot identifier;
• generating, over time, a plurality of snapshots of the first production volume, wherein generating each snapshot includes:
• associating the snapshot with an incremented object identifier associating the snapshot with an incremented object identifier, wherein the incremented object identifier is sequentially incremented from the incremented object identifier of a preceding snapshot;
• associating the snapshot with the first snapshot identifier;
• and
• updating the first snapshot identifier with the incremented object identifier;
• identifying one of the plurality of snapshots with which to restore the production volume based on the first snapshot identifier;
• and
• restoring the production volume using the identified one of the plurality of snapshots.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations of:

• providing a first production volume of a storage system, the first production volume associated with an object identifier and a first snapshot identifier;
• generating, over time, a plurality of snapshots of the first production volume, wherein generating each snapshot includes:
• associating the snapshot with an incremented object identifier associating the snapshot with an incremented object identifier, wherein the incremented object identifier is sequentially incremented from the incremented object identifier of a preceding snapshot;
• associating the snapshot with the first snapshot identifier;
• and
• updating the first snapshot identifier with the incremented object identifier;
• identifying one of the plurality of snapshots with which to restore the production volume based on the first snapshot identifier;
• and
• restoring the production volume using the identified one of the plurality of snapshots.
