The location of appropriate undo data necessary for reversing an effect of an
operation performed at a computer system is identified during a forward pass through
a log. A cycle count can be used to determine if appropriate undo data is stored
in an object or is stored in auxiliary storage. If appropriate undo data is stored
in an object and the undo data would be potentially lost by processing a redo log
entry to modify the contents of the object, the appropriate undo data is copied
to auxiliary storage. In some embodiments, a secondary computer system receives
log entries from a primary computer system. The secondary computer system can identify
undo data necessary to reverse an effect of an operation performed at the secondary
computer system from received log entries. Identified undo data can be copied auxiliary
storage at the secondary computer system.
