ABSTRACT:
A replication method supports file replication across a plurality of file servers by tracking the changes to the local volume on the storage system. Each change is then ranked according to a number of criteria. Each criterion is weighted, and an overall ranking is determined for each change. The changes are then ordered according to their ranks, and each change is transmitted to remote storage systems for remote duplication of the change.
