Abstract
Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to a highly distributed replica of a volume stored in a networked computing environment. First and second replicas of the volume can be synchronously replicated, and some implementations of the tertiary replica can be asynchronously replicated. The highly distributed nature of the tertiary replica supports parallel data transfer of the data of the volume, resulting in faster creation of backups and new copies of the volume.
