Abstract

See full text

A method for resolving file system conflicts between a client file system and a server file system after the client file system has been disconnected from the server file system. Changes to the client file system are replayed for application to the server file system. Conflicts between the proposed changes and the current state of the server file system are detected and actions conditioned on the conflict type are presented to a user for selection. User selection and conflict type are used to determine the conflict resolution to apply to the client data during application. All conflicts are resolved as they are detected. The resynchronization process is controllable by the user from a display panel that presents the replay status and allows user interaction to monitor and alter the replay of transactions. The novel interface allows detailed control of the resynchronization.
