Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for the efficient resyncing of stale components of a distributed-computing system. One method includes determining that a first base component at a remote site will go offline. After determining that the first base component at the remote site will go offline, a first delta component is created at the remote site. While the first base component at the remote site is offline, data corresponding to the offline component is collected at the first delta component at the remote site. After collecting data at the first delta component, the collected data is sent to a local site. The method includes determining that the first base component has come back online. In response to determining that the first base component has come back online, the collected data is sent from the first delta component to the first base component via an intra-site network.
