ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, a method to perform initialization prior to replication includes marking a first point in a delta marking stream, generating a copy of a local volume at the first point and determining dirty locations between a remote volume and the copy. The copy is generated from one of taking a snapshot or taking a clone of the local volume.
