Abstract

For performing incremental replication of a data set, a source data module identifies a source data set, the source data set including a set of storage locations on a source volume, a target data module that defines the target data set in response to the source data module identifying the source data set, a mapping module that stores a replication relationship table, the replication relationship table mapping the defined data set to a target data set, the target data set including a set of storage locations on a target volume, and a replication module that performs an incremental copy of data stored at the source data set based on the replication relationship.
