Replication
Replication for virtual storage provides a remote copy of a volume, volume group, or snapshot on a remote system by periodically updating the remote copy to contain a point-in-time consistent image of a source volume. After an initial image has been replicated, subsequent replications only send changed data to the remote system. All replications, including the initial one, only replicate data that has been written as opposed to replicating all of the data from the source. Replication can be used for disaster recovery, to preserve data, and to back up data to off-site locations. It can also be used to distribute data.
For more information about replication for virtual storage, see CHAP and replication.
