Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving data at a secondary storage volume from a primary storage volume. In response to receiving a read request: a request is sent for at least a portion of the data corresponding to the read request in response to determining that at least a portion of the data corresponding to the read request is not in any of the regions in the secondary storage volume. The at least a portion of the data corresponding to the read request is received, and further stored in one or more regions in the secondary storage volume. Furthermore, a message is sent indicating that the one or more regions in the secondary storage volume in which the data was stored contain the at least a portion of the data corresponding to the read request received, the message being for updating a primary record.
