Abstract:
A method, and system for implementing enhanced fast full synchronization for remote disk mirroring in a computer system. A source backup copy is made locally available to a target for remote disk mirroring. Sectors are identified that are different between the source and target. A hash function is used over a block to be compared, with an adaptive number of tracking sectors per block, starting with a minimum block size.
