US Patent 11954066 Coalescing storage log entries

An identification of a new primary snapshot created for a primary storage system is received. 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 is determined. Entries of a storage log of the primary storage system occurring within the change tracking time window are analyzed to coalesce changes identified in the entries of the storage log occurring within the change tracking time window into a change tracking result set. The change tracking result set is used 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.
