Abstract
In some examples, a first system may store a data object according to a first data protection level and may send the data object to a geographically remote second system for storing as a replicated data object. Based on determining that a condition for transitioning the data object to a different data protection level has been met, the first system may check a local data structure to determine that the data object was sent to the second system. Based on determining that the data object was sent for replication to the second system, the first system may send a request to the second system to verify storage of the replicated data object at the second system. Based on receiving a reply indicating storage of the replicated data object at the second system, the first system may transition the data object to the different data protection level.
