Cloning a tracking copy of replica data

Abstract:

Cloning a tracking copy of replica data, including receiving, at a target data repository from a source data repository, metadata describing one or more updates to a dataset stored within the source data repository; generating, based on the metadata describing the one or more updates to the dataset, a tracking copy of replica data on the target data repository; and generating, based on the tracking copy, a cloned image of the dataset that is modifiable without modifying the tracking copy of the replica data.
