Abstract

The present invention provides for facilitating synchronization in a data source/data destination environment using data replicas. When a plurality of destinations request synchronization with a source, a first destination selected for synchronization is processed such that differences between the first destination data and source data is determined and persisted in a partition update. After updating the first destination, the synchronization process continues only for those remaining destinations that will be affected by the partition change, as determined by the persisted data, and then as updated by the persisted data.
