Abstract
One example method includes receiving, at an IO journal, a new entry that identifies a respective disk location L, and data X written at that disk location L, and determining whether a location specified in an oldest entry of the IO journal is specified in any other entries in the IO journal. When the location specified in the oldest entry is not specified in any other entries in the IO journal, adding the new entry to the IO journal, and augmenting the new entry with undo data. Or, when the location specified in the oldest entry is specified in at least one other entry in the IO journal, setting data specified in the oldest entry as undo data for the next entry that identifies that location, and adding the new entry to the IO journal, and deleting the oldest entry from the IO journal.
