Abstract
Embodiments are directed to file systems. A replication engine may establish a secure communication channel between a source file system and a target file system. The replication engine may: instantiate a replication job associated with rules; determine changes in the source file system; determine characteristics of the replication job that may be based on the changes; compare the to the characteristics and a black-out schedule; execute the replication job to communicate the changes in the source file system to the target file system based on a result of the comparison. Upon completion of the replication job, the replication engine may automatically instantiating a next replication job to copy subsequent changes in the source file system to the target file system.
