Abstract

Storing recovery data for a data center includes providing synchronous data from the data center to a local destination, providing chunks of data from the local destination to a first remote destination, different from the first remote destination, and providing chunks of data from the data center to a second remote destination. At least some of the destinations may maintain a plurality of maps, where each of the maps associates synchronous data being provided to the local destination with a specific chunk of data. In response to receiving an indicator in connection with creation of a new chunk of data, the at least some of the destinations that maintain a plurality of maps may point to a new map. There may be two maps or more than two maps.
