Abstract
A schedule is stored indicating a frequency of replication from source to destination sites. When a replication job is initiated, information identifying one or more objects at the source site to be replicated is copied into a snapshot without pausing user operations against the one or more objects. The snapshot is compared with a previous snapshot to generate replication tasks for the replication job. The replication tasks are placed onto a message queue at the source site, where a worker node at the source site retrieves a replication task from the message queue and processes the replication task in conjunction with a worker node at the destination site.
