Patent ID: 8543556

Claim:
A computing device implemented method for data management, the method comprising: determining, by operation of one or more processors, a predefined set of data scrubbing parameters for first data in a first data storage based on a predefined set of data storage parameters for the first data, wherein the predefined set of data scrubbing parameters comprises data scrubbing block size, and wherein the predefined set of data storage parameters comprises a cloud data storage topology; comparing the first data in the first data storage and corresponding second data in a second data storage; synchronizing the first data with the second data upon determining a mismatch between the first data and the second data; and performing data scrubbing for the first data in accordance with the determined predefined set of data scrubbing parameters, wherein the first data is scrubbed at a finer granular level as a result of a smaller data scrubbing block size.
