Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for intercepting IO to a virtual machine file system by a storage based splitter, replicating, via a replication appliance, the IO to a replica of the image; the replica of the image containing a replica of the virtual machine file system, and periodically mounting the replica of the virtual machine file system to create entries for a database tracking information about the virtual machines running in the hypervisor.
