Abstract

Backup storage is resynchronized to primary storage, ensuring that any new updates received during resynchronization are applied in the proper order relative to resynchronization data. Under normal operations, a data mover mirrors data stored in primary storage to backup storage. If an error condition arises, preventing mirroring, the data mover stores newly received data in primary storage without mirroring the data to backup storage. The data mover also identifies this data in an update map. When the error condition ends, the data mover performs a static resynchronization process, serving to update the backup storage with the un-mirrored data, identified in the update map. When new data is received during static resynchronization, a dynamic resynchronization process is invoked to accurately process the updates. Dynamic resynchronization ensures that newly received data records are copied to backup storage in the proper order (if at all) with respect to versions of the same data being processed by static resynchronization.
