Patent ID: 11853575

Abstract:
A method and system for data consistency across failure and recovery of infrastructure. In one embodiment of the method, copies of first data blocks stored in a source memory are sent to a target site via a data link. While sending one or more of the copies of the first data blocks to the target site, source hashes for second data blocks stored in the source memory are calculated, wherein the first data blocks are distinct from the second data blocks. While sending one or more of the copies of the first data blocks to the target site, target hashes of data blocks stored in a target memory of the target site are received. While sending one or more of the copies of the first data blocks to the target site, the source hashes are compared with the target hashes, respectively. After sending the first data blocks to the target site via the data link, copies of only those second data blocks are sent to the target site with source hashes that do not compare equally with respective target hashes.
