Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for dynamically replicating data from a primary resource to a secondary resource within a storage network. In particular, a user can select parameters that specify a policy framework. A policy management module can determine one or more attributes associated with resources of the storage network, and enter the one or more attributes into the policy framework to determine a replication policy. The one or more attributes can be determined at any point before or during a replication. The policy management module can then replicate the data according to the replication policy.
