Abstract
A method for responding to an access request from a user, the method includes (a) receiving, by a target storage system (TSS) and from a user an access request to access an exposed file system entity (EFSE), the access request is associated with an EFSE external identifier (EEID); (b) applying a logically reversible function on the EEID and on a replication stream identifier (RSID) to provide a TSS internal EFSE identifier (TID); wherein the EFSE was sent to the TSS in association with a replication stream that is identified by the RSID; (c) accessing the EFSE using the TID; and (d) wherein the TID uniquely identifies the EFSE within the TSS.
