Abstract
Techniques for scheduling replication events may be based upon establishing a plurality of policy groups. Each policy group has a replication schedule that defines when to initiate replication events and a membership selection pattern used to determine which virtual machines belong to which policy group. The policy groups may contain a first policy group and a second policy group, where each policy group has a unique replication schedule and a unique selection pattern. The system may assign a first set of virtual machines to the first policy group based upon the first selection pattern. A second set of virtual machines may be assigned to a second policy group based upon the second selection pattern. Each of the virtual machines in the first policy group may be assigned a first replication schedule and each of the virtual machines in the second policy group may be assigned a second replication schedule.
