Described embodiments provide systems and methods for operating a storage system. The storage system receives write requests to be written to a production volume of the storage system during a snapshot interval. One or more system properties associated with at least one of the storage system and the received write requests are determined. One or more operating conditions of the storage system are determined. Based, at least in part, upon the determined one or more system properties and the determined one or more operating conditions, the snapshot interval is adapted. At completion of the snapshot interval, a snapshot replica is generated from data of the production volume and the received write requests, and the snapshot replica is sent to a replication volume of the storage system.
