ABSTRACT:
A replication facility provides for the replication of files or portions of files in a distributed environment. The replication facility is able to replicate any subtree within a distributed namespace of the distributed environment. The replication facility provides multi-mastered, weakly consistent replication. The replication facility supports both public replication and private replication.
