Abstract

Methods and systems for collision handling during an asynchronous replication are provided. A system includes a cache memory system comprising a number of cache memory pages. A collision detector detects when a host is attempting to overwrite a cache memory page that has not been completely replicated. A revision page tagger copies the cache memory page to a free page and tags the copied page as protected.
