Abstract: Techniques are described for performing different types of restart operations for a file storage replication between a source file system and a target file system in different cloud infrastructure regions. In certain embodiments, the disclosed techniques perform a restart operation to terminate a current cross-region replication by synchronizing resource cleanup operations in the source file system and the target file system, respectively. In other embodiments, disclosed techniques perform a restart operation to allow a customer to reuse the source file system by identifying a restartable base snapshot in the source file system without dependency on the target file system.

Abstract: Techniques are described for efficient replication and maintaining snapshot data consistency during file storage replication between file systems in different cloud infrastructure regions. In certain embodiments, snapshot creation and deletion requests that occur during cross-region replications may be temporarily withheld until appropriate times to execute such requests safely, depending on the timing relationship between such requests and cross-region replication cycles.
