Abstract
The invention relates to methods for replicating a primary file system on a primary host to a secondary file system on a secondary host including determining a primary data block to replicate by reading a space map block entry (b, e) of the primary data block, wherein b represents the first snapshot and e the last snapshot to use the primary data block; computing a checksum of a primary data block and sending its number to the secondary host and determining a secondary data block that corresponds and computing its checksum then comparing the primary and secondary data block checksums and replicating the primary data block on the secondary file system when the primary and secondary checksums mismatch for the primary file system. In another aspect of the method if the primary and secondary checksums mismatch the method sends all data blocks from the primary file system allocated after a reliable snapshot on the secondary file system to the secondary host to be written on the secondary file system.
