We consider the problem of synchronizing data in distributed storage networks under an edit model that includes deletions and insertions. We present two modifications of MDS, regenerating and locally repairable codes that allow updates in the parity-check values to be performed with one round of communication at low bit rates and using small storage overhead. Our main contributions are novel protocols for synchronizing both hot and semi-static data and protocols for data deduplication applications, based on intermediary permutation, Vandermonde and Cauchy matrix coding.
