A system and method for replaying writes in a replication log is provided. The replay of writes in the replication log can begin at some point after detecting an imminent overflow condition is detected. One method involves detecting the imminent overflow condition, performing a first synchronization for regions of the first volume based upon information in a first subset of the replication log, processing information in a second subset of the replication log while the first synchronization is ongoing, and performing a second synchronization for regions of the first volume based upon information in the second subset of the replication log, subsequent to the first synchronization and subsequent to processing the information in the second subset of the replication log.
