Abstract

A method for tracking changes on a primary volume in a continuous data protection system writes data to the primary volume. A copy of the data is written to a secondary volume, the secondary volume including all writes made to the primary volume. Each write made to the secondary volume is mapped in a data structure, such that the data structure tracks changes on the primary volume between two different points in time.
