Abstract: Systems and methods for asynchronous backup of virtual disks in a distributed storage array are disclosed. An exemplary method may comprise receiving an IO stream at the virtual disks in the distributed storage array, writing data to one or more storage cells of the virtual disks in the distributed storage array, and logging completed writes in a first batch for each of the one or more storage cells. The method also comprises establishing a consistency point in the IO stream, terminating logging to the first batch for each of the one or more storage cells at the consistency point and logging completed writes after the consistency point to a new batch for each of the one or more storage cells. The method also comprises transferring writes logged in the first batch to at least one remote storage so that the at least one remote storage is crash consistent.
