Abstract

See full text

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.
