Abstract:
Techniques are provided for implementing a snapshot copy operation between endpoints. One or more snapshots (e.g., snapshots of an on-premise volume) is stored within a source endpoint, such as a source bucket of an object store. A post operation is executed to copy objects comprising snapshot data of a snapshot from the source endpoint to a destination endpoint. A get operation and a tracking object such as a cookie is used to track progress of copying the objects from the source endpoint to the destination endpoint. The tracking object is used to restart the copying of the objects from a point where the copying left off (e.g., in the event there is a failure) without having to restart from the beginning.
