Abstract
A first snapshot is taken of a first block storage resource that is initially identical in content to a second block storage resource. A second snapshot of the first block storage resource is taken at a later time. A record is kept of all blocks modified on the first block storage resource. Only those blocks modified between the time of the first and second snapshots are written to the second block storage resource. After all the modified blocks are written to the second block storage resource, a snapshot is taken of the second block storage resource to maintain a consistent snapshot of the second block storage resource in case of communication failure during the next round. The first snapshot is then deleted, the second takes the role of the first, and the next round of replication begins.
