Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for granular replication for data protection. For example, a first storage controller may host a first volume. A consistency group, comprising a subset of files, logical unit numbers, and/or other data of the first volume, is defined through a consistency group configuration. A baseline transfer, using a baseline snapshot of the first volume, is used to create a replicated consistency group within a second volume hosted by a second storage controller. In this way, an arbitrary level of granularity is used to synchronize/replicate a subset of the first volume to the second volume. If a synchronous replication relationship is specified, then one or more incremental transfer are performed and a synchronous replication engine is implemented. If an asynchronous replication relationship is specified, then snapshots are used to identify delta data of the consistency group for updating the replication consistency group.

Abstract translation: 提供一个或多个技术和/或计算设备用于数据保护的粒度复制。 例如，第一存储控制器可以托管第一卷。 通过一致性组配置来定义一致性组，其包括文件的子集，逻辑单元号和/或第一卷的其他数据。 使用第一个卷的基准快照的基准传输用于在由第二个存储控制器托管的第二个卷内创建复制的一致性组。 通过这种方式，可以使用任意级别的粒度将第一个卷的子集与第二个卷进行同步/复制。 如果指定了同步复制关系，则执行一个或多个增量传输并实现同步复制引擎。 如果指定了异步复制关系，则快照将用于标识一致性组的增量数据以更新复制一致性组。

Abstract: A technique to name data is disclosed to allow preservation of storage efficiency over a link between a source and a destination in a replication relationship as well as in storage at the destination. The technique allows the source to send named data to the destination once and refer to it by name multiple times in the future, without having to resend the data. The technique also allows the transmission of data extents to be decoupled from the logical containers that refer to the data extents. Additionally, the technique allows a replication system to accommodate different extent sizes between replication source and destination while preserving storage efficiency.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种名称数据的技术，以允许通过复制关系中的源和目的地之间的链路以及在目的地的存储来保持存储效率。 该技术允许源将命名数据发送到目的地一次，并在将来多次引用它，而不必重新发送数据。 该技术还允许数据扩展区的传输与引用数据扩展区的逻辑容器进行解耦。 此外，该技术允许复制系统适应复制源和目的地之间的不同扩展大小，同时保持存储效率。
