Patent 11169728 was granted and assigned to Western Digital on November, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Example distributed storage systems, replication managers, and methods provide replication configurations for data transfers to multiple heterogeneous data stores. A first object data store includes multiple storage buckets for replication to different data stores. Different target storage systems have different system configurations that are different than the native system configuration. For each storage bucket and corresponding target storage system, a native replication operation is translated to a target replication operation compatible with the target system configuration and the target replication operation is used to replicate the selected storage bucket to the corresponding target storage system.
