Claim:
1. A method for synchronizing operational data records generated during data management operations in a manner that reduces redundant copying of data during synchronization, comprising: storing, by a host computer, a set of operational data records, wherein each data record is assigned a unique identifier (ID) in ascending order based on a creation time of the data record, the host computer including a processor, the processor coupled to a non-transitory readable medium having instructions executable by the processor; and performing, by the host computer, a first synchronization operation for the set of operational data records, wherein performing the first synchronization operation comprises: transmitting, by the host computer, the synchronization ID to a source operational data store to instruct the source operational data store to transmit any operational data records stored at the source operational data store with unique IDs greater than the synchronization ID.
