An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to identify a snapshot lineage comprising snapshots of a storage volume, the snapshot lineage comprising (i) a local snapshot lineage stored on a storage system and (ii) cloud snapshot lineages stored on cloud storage external to the storage system, to select at least one snapshot that is to be copied from the local snapshot lineage, to determine at least two of the cloud snapshot lineages as destinations for the selected snapshot, to generate a snapshot copy job for copying the selected snapshot to the at least two cloud snapshot lineages, and to process the snapshot copy job by reading data of the selected snapshot stored in the local snapshot lineage once and writing the data of the selected snapshot to the at least two cloud snapshot lineages.
