Abstract:
A method and a computer system for maintaining synchronization between primary data stored in a primary volume and secondary data stored in a secondary volume. The primary volume and the secondary volume having respective address spaces divided into address blocks, each comprising a range of addresses. The computer system determines a start condition in which the secondary data has been checked as being a mirror of the primary data, transmits writes of the primary data that have occurred since the start condition to the secondary volume, and maintains an incremental record of current differences between the primary and secondary volumes on a per address block basis. The computer system operates a garbage collection algorithm on the secondary volume to clean up the address space.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the garbage collection algorithm refers to the incremental record in decision making on which regions of an address space of the secondary volume to select for clean-up.
