Abstract
Described herein are techniques for managing replication in a data storage environment. The techniques including selectively compressing and selectively encrypting, by a production site, a set of files for replication from the production site to a remote site. Files can be selectively compressed based on a compression ratio satisfying a compression threshold, and files can be selectively encrypted based on a file content satisfying an encryption criteria. The techniques can further include updating, by the production site, metadata associated with selectively compressed files and updating metadata associated with selectively encrypted files. The techniques can further include replicating the set of files for replication from the production site to the remote site, the set of files for replication including the selectively compressed and the selectively encrypted files.
