Abstract

Background synchronization of data objects may be provided. A background thread associated with an application may be created. A first data item associated with the application may be opened by the background thread and a copy of the first data item may be created. A modification may be performed on a property of the first data item. If no second data item is associated with a pending modification, the first data item may be replaced with the modified copy of the first data item.
