Abstract:
1. A method for synchronizing data according to a synchronization procedure performed between a sync initiator and two or more synchronization targets that are connected by at least one communication link, comprising: receiving input data comprising: performing the synchronization procedure, the synchronization procedure comprising a plurality of synchronization operations and involving a sync initiator and two or more synchronization targets that are connected by at least one communication link, the synchronization operations comprising: planning an orchestration of the synchronization procedure to match the determined user's intent, the planning comprising: orchestrating the synchronization procedure, the orchestrating comprising: abstaining from synchronizing the sync initiator with the second synchronization target until after synchronizing the sync initiator with the first synchronization target, the abstaining is performed based on the determination that the indication indicates that the user desires a quick synchronization and even upon the condition that the second synchronization target is currently available to synchronize the second set of synchronization data, a first data transfer, wherein the first data transfer comprises: a second data transfer, wherein the second data transfer comprises:
