Patent abstract
A backup VM is allowed to enter live execution mode at instruction boundaries but not in the middle of emulation of a single instruction. This is accomplished by having the last log entry of multiple entries generated during emulation of an instruction to have an indication of a “go-live” point and by having the backup VM not replay log entries provided by the primary VM beyond the log entry that indicates the “go-live” point.
