Abstract
A source server maintains a replication rule specifying a condition for a replication attribute and a replication action to take if the condition with respect to the replication attribute is satisfied, wherein the replication action indicates to include or exclude the object having an attribute value for the replication attribute that satisfies the condition. For each of the objects, the replication rule is applied by determining an attribute value of the object corresponding to the replication attribute in the replication rule and determining whether the determined attribute value satisfies the condition for the replication attribute defined in the determined replication rule. The replication action on the object in response to determining that the determined attribute value satisfies the condition for the replication attribute.
