The present disclosure generally relates to creating virtualized block storage devices whose data is replicated across isolated computing systems to lower risk of data loss even in wide-scale events, such as natural disasters. The virtualized device can include at least two volumes, each of which is implemented in a distinct computing system. In the case of a failed volume, a new volume can be created and populated with data from the surviving volume. During population, new writes can continue to be replicated to the new volume. The population process can write data from the surviving volume to the new volume “under” new writes, such that the population process does not overwrite data included in the new writes.
