System and method for guaranteeing consistent data synchronization from a volatile data source

A storage synchronization computing device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor and configured to be capable of storing programmed instructions that comprise and stored are in the memory to:
• receive an indication of one or more changes in a source data set has one or more changes;
• initiate a comparison between the source data set and the destination data set, the source data set comprising parent data elements and at least one corresponding child data element and the destination data set comprising destination parent data elements and at least one corresponding destination child data element;
• identify one or more differences between the source data set and the destination data set, the one or more differences comprising one or more related hierarchical relationships between the parent data elements and the at least one corresponding child data element associated with the source data set and the destination parent data elements and the at least one corresponding destination child data element in the destination set;
• and
• alter the destination data set by performing a sequence of changes corresponding to the identified one or more differences between the source data set and the destination data set in an order based on the one or more related hierarchical relationships, wherein the sequence of changes comprises deleting any of the destination parent data elements lacking the at least one corresponding destination child data element before deleting any of the destination parent data elements comprising the at least one corresponding destination child data element.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for consistent data synchronization comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

• receiving an indication of one or more changes in a source data set;
• initiating a comparison between the source data set and a destination data set, the source data set comprising parent data elements and at least one corresponding child data element and the destination data set comprising destination parent data elements and at least one corresponding destination child data element;
• identifying one or more differences between the source data set and the destination data set, the one or more differences comprising one or more related hierarchical relationships between the parent data elements and the at least one corresponding child data element associated with the source data set and the destination parent data elements and the at least one corresponding destination child data element in the destination set;
• and
• altering the destination data set by performing a sequence of changes corresponding to the identified one or more differences between the source data set and the destination data set in an order based on the one or more related hierarchical relationships, wherein the sequence of changes comprises deleting any of the destination parent data elements lacking the at least one corresponding destination child data element before deleting any of the destination parent data elements comprising the at least one corresponding destination child data element.
