This example explains how to synchronize the Secondary RVG hr_rvg on the Secondary host london with the Primary RVG on host seattle using block-level backup and Storage Checkpoint.

To synchronize the Secondary using block-level backup and Storage Checkpoint

Start a Primary Storage Checkpoint on seattle:

# vxrvg -g hrdg -c checkpt_presync checkstart hr_rvg

Perform a block-level backup of the data volumes in the Primary RVG.
End the Primary Storage Checkpoint when the backup is complete:
```
# vxrvg -g hrdg checkend hr_rvg
```
Restore the backup to the Secondary data volumes.
Start replication using the Storage Checkpoint after the restore is complete:
```
# vradmin -g hrdg -c checkpt_presync startrep hr_rvg london
```
