Managing snaps at a destination based on policies specified at a source

摘要

Improved techniques for managing snaps of a data object hosted by a source data storage system (source) involve specifying, by the source, a set of policies for snaps of the data object that are stored on a destination data storage system (destination). The technique includes transferring the set of policies from the source to the destination, to enable the destination to implement the specified set of policies on the snaps at the destination.
