Abstract

Example object storage systems, meta object generators, and methods provide versioned meta objects for internal operational data that may be replicated between data object stores. A meta object may be generated that includes meta object data, such as internal operational data. A meta object identifier may be assigned to the meta object. A first version identifier may be associated with the meta object data and a second version identifier may be associated with a marker for the meta object, where the marker prevents exposure as a user data object.
