When primary hosts write data to primary data volumes, the hosts add time
stamp to the data. Secondary storage systems check time stamps and then
restore data to data volumes in chronological order (older data are restored
earlier), so that data update sequence is maintained. For details on the time-
stamping function, see section Host I/O Time-Stamp.
