Abstract
A novel method for restarting a steady-state synchronization process includes persisting synchronization data in non-volatile memory before restarting, and utilizing the persisted synchronization data to restart the synchronization where the prior steady-state synchronization process left off. In a particular embodiment, the synchronization data is indicative of a particular point of the synchronization process and is utilized to begin synchronizing from that point after the service is restarted. In a more particular embodiment, the synchronization data is a particular operation of a sequence of operations performed as part of the synchronization. In another particular embodiment, operations associated with a batch are applied before stopping the synchronization.
