摘要： A network component useful in tracking write activity by writing logs containing write address information is described. The tracking component may be used in networked systems employing data mirrors to record data block addresses written to a primary storage volume during the time a data mirror is unavailable. The tracking component can be available to any network originating node, and may therefore track write activity on multiple volumes. At the time a data mirror is reconstructed, the log written may be used to construct a list of block addresses pointing to locations on a primary storage volume wherein data differs from a secondary storage volume member of the mirror. The locations may be copied from the primary to secondary storage volume to reconstruct the data mirror. The performance impact of the tracking component is minimal and a shared network resource is offered that increases fault tolerance in the event of backup device failures.

摘要： Disclosed is a technique for transferring data using multiple backup components. Responsibility for a portion of data is assigned to a first backup component. When a data update for the portion of data is received at the first backup component from a primary source, the data update is mirrored to a second backup component that is not assigned responsibility for the portion of data.Also disclosed is a technique for processing data updates with a group of backup components. It is determined that a new backup component is active. Near an end of a consistent transactions set formation period, responsibility for one or more portions of data are assigned to each backup component in the group and to the new backup component. During a next consistent transactions set formation period, data updates are processed with each backup component in the group and the new backup component.Moreover, disclosed is a technique for processing data updates with a group of backup components. It is determined that a first backup component in the group is no longer available. Portions of data for which the first backup component had been assigned responsibility are reassigned to each of the other backup components in the group.

摘要： Disclosed is a technique for data synchronization. A first identifier is determined for a portion of data at a first source. A second identifier is determined for a portion of corresponding data at a second source. The first and second identifiers are compared. When the first and second identifiers do not match, the portion of corresponding data at the second source is replaced with the portion of data at the first source.

摘要： Disclosed is a technique for data synchronization. A first identifier for a portion of data on a primary volume is determined, wherein a unique identifier is associated with each portion of data at the primary volume. A second identifier for a portion of corresponding data at a secondary volume is determined, wherein a unique identifier is associated with each portion of data at the secondary volume. The first and second identifiers are compared. When the first and second identifiers do not match, the portion of corresponding data at the secondary volume in a storage device is replaced with the portion of data at the primary volume.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reliably updating a data group in a data replication environment. The apparatus, system, and method reliably update the data group by receiving an updated data group sent from a first storage medium to a second storage medium, comparing the updated data group with a previous data group previously existing on the second storage medium and writing the updated data group to the second storage medium. The read-before-write and differencing method disclosed maintain reliability by storing multiple copies of changes made to the second storage medium during and after the write process.
