Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for replicating and migrating files to secondary storage sites. Files in a fileset at the primary storage site are migrated to a file container, wherein data for the files migrated to the file container is distributed among the secondary storage sites. File metadata for each of the migrated files is updated to include access information on the migrated file in the file container. Data for the migrated files is deleted in a local storage. The file metadata for the migrated files is replicated to the secondary storage sites over the network to store in filesets at the secondary storage sites without replicating file data for the migrated files to store in the filesets the secondary storage sites.
