One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for data synchronization. For example, an in-flight log may be maintained to track storage operations that are received by a first storage node, but have not been committed to both first storage of the first storage node and second storage of a second storage node that has a replication relationship, such as a disaster recovery relationship, with the first storage node. A dirty region log may be maintained to track regions within the first storage that have been modified by storage operations that have not been replicated to the second storage. Accordingly, a catchup synchronization phase (e.g., asynchronous replication by a resync scanner) may be performed to replicate storage operations (e.g., replicate data within dirty regions of the first storage that were modified by such storage operations) to the second storage until the first storage and the second storage are synchronized.

Data synchronization

Methods and systems for tracking information that is transferred from a source to a destination storage system are provided. The source storage system maintains a first data structure for indicating that a storage block has been transferred. The destination storage system receives the storage block and updates a second data structure to indicate that the storage block has been received. The first data structure and the second data structure are compared to determine that the storage block was successfully transferred from the source storage system and received by the destination storage system.
