A method, computer program product, and computer system for performing, via a first computing device, a copy sweep operation to a first range of data on a source storage device. It may be determined that the copy sweep operation has failed. A message may be sent to a second computing device to suspend I/O operations to the first range of data. The copy sweep operation may be retried based upon, at least in part, determining that the copy sweep operation has failed, wherein the copy sweep operation may be retried without the first computing device receiving acknowledgement that the second computing device is suspending the I/O operations to the first range of data.
