Does it attempt to copy only used blocks?

"The first thing VR will do when synchronizing is read the entire disk of both the protected and recovery site and generate a checksum for each block. It then compares the checksum mapping between the two disk files and thereby creates an initial block bundle that needs to be replicated on the first pass to bring the block checksums into alignment. This happens on port 31031."
So I take it that this means that it doesn't copy empty blocks?
