  • operating an application in conjunction with a primary file server, said application further outputting a write operation;

    receiving said write operation and comparing said data to stored data associated with a primary file;

    generating an index referencing a changed data byte within said file, wherein said changed data byte occurs when a data byte within said data does not substantially match a corresponding stored data byte in said stored data;

    providing said index to a meta-file for use in replicating said changed data byte; and

    providing a mirroring engine operatively associated with said meta-file and utilizing a transaction number to uniquely identify said changed data byte.
