Abstract

Techniques for data replication are presented. A snap shot request is processed within an environment associated with a local volume by flushing pending Input/Output (I/O) operations into an event packet. The event packet is sent to a replicated volume and processed against the replicated volume to create a snap shot version of the local volume.
