Abstract
A technique for adaptive batching for asynchronous data redundancy. A sequence of write transactions are adaptively arranged into a sequence of send batches at the first storage facility. The transactions are received at a second storage facility and applied to a redundant data copy at the second storage facility. The second storage facility may arrange the write transactions according to a sequence of receive batches. The batch sizes may be adaptively adjusted or completed. The batch sizes or adaptive completion of the batches may be based on, for example, availability of a communication medium between the first storage facility and the second storage facility. Each send batch may be forwarded to the second storage facility upon completion.
