Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for triggering, by a computing device, a synchronization activity on a storage object. A request may be executed for a copy operation resulting from the synchronization activity to copy the storage object from a source to a destination when a current number of concurrent copy operations is below a maximum number of copy operations. The request for the copy operation resulting from the synchronization activity to copy the storage object from the source to the destination may be placed in a queue when the current number of concurrent copy operations is at least at the maximum number of copy operations. One or more attributes of the request in the queue may be identified. The request for the copy operation may be executed according to a replication policy based upon, at least in part, the one or more attributes of the request in the queue.
