Abstract

According to one embodiment, a first storage system receives a first data stream from a second storage system over a network. The first data stream includes data objects and differential object information identifying at least one data object missing from the first data stream. A difference between the first data stream and a second data stream that has been previously received is determined based on the differential object information, including identifying a data object that has been added, deleted, or modified in view of the second data stream. The first data stream is reconstructed based on the second data stream and the difference between the first data stream and the second data stream, generating a third data stream. The third data stream is stored in a persistent storage device of the first storage system, the third data stream representing a complete first data stream without a missing data object.
