German term
Nachlaufen bzw. nachlaufend
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Computers: Systems, Networks
IT/Computer
The term is used in the context of computer data replication where copies of data volume are made and stored on another storage system for backup purposes.
Earlier in the text, it is said, "Die zweite Site 'läuft' der ersten Site um diesen Zeitversatz entsprechend hinterher", where "lags behind" could perhaps be used. Later on, in the same context of data 'lagging behind", I have "Nachlaufen" as a verbal noun and an adjective and I am really stumped for something suitable.
(NB: Nachlaufen here is written in inverted commas, as is Hinterherlaufen above.)

Ideas and suggestions gratefully received!

Comment: ""Trail/trailing" did in fact spring to mind later and I would have used this had I not subsequently found out that the Boss prefers "lagging behind"! Now I have to see how I can fit that in... personally, I'd rather go with "trailing"!
Nevertheless, thank you very much!"
