Disclosed are methods and the like that provide for transforming replicated data for consumption in the cloud, for example. Such methods can include attaching a target gateway node at a secondary site to a storage device at the secondary site, searching for an identifier stored in the storage device, and storing replicated data in the replication volume. The identifier is associated with an offset stored in the storage device, and the offset identifies a starting location of a replication volume in the storage device. The replicated data is received by the target gateway node from a source gateway node at a primary site. A starting location is received with the replicated data. The target gateway node stores the replicated data at a first location in the storage volume, and the first location is determined based, at least in part, on the starting location and the first storage location.
