Techniques for creating identical snapshots on systems during synchronous replication

Techniques for creating identical snapshots can include: performing synchronous replication between a first storage object of a first system and a second storage object of a second system; enabling change tracking for the first storage object that records in a log which portions of the first storage object are written or modified; responsive to enabling change tracking, creating a snapshot S2 of the second storage object of the second system; responsive to creating the snapshot S2 of the second storage object; creating a snapshot S1 of the first storage object of the first system; responsive to creating the snapshot S1 of the first storage object, disabling change tracking for the first storage object; and copying written or modified content of the first storage object as identified in the log to the snapshot S2 of the second storage object of the second system.
