Systems and methods for performing replication operations on a continuous data protection system. Exemplary methods include identifying a series of transactions in a continuous data protection system, identifying an event marker indicating a point in time in the series of transactions, copying at least a portion of the series of transactions up until the point in time of the event marker from the continuous data protection system, and presenting the copy of at least a portion of the series of transactions such that the surfaced copy can be read in a subsequent replication operation.
