Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for conducting continuous changelog-based replication of modifications made to a file system to a target storage system. An export system can monitor a changelog on a file system to detect changes made to the file system. The exporter system can further filter and reformat the changes for replication to the target storage system by storing the changes in a pending changes data store. To reduce duplicative traffic, the export system can store changes for a configurable delay period, writing all pending changes to a file system object after the delay while aggregating and deduplicating the changes, thus improving performance relative to immediate replication.
