Abstract

Provided are a method, system, and program for providing a mirror copy of data. An update to a primary storage is received and transferred to an intermediate system in a first transfer mode. The update is transferred from the intermediate system to a secondary storage in a second transfer mode, wherein the secondary storage provides a mirror copy of updates to the primary storage.
