Abstract

Data replication is described. An example method includes determining an aging degree of a first-type storage disk in a source storage device and determining a transmission time length for replicating target data from a second-type storage disk in the source storage device to a destination storage device, wherein the target data is stored in the second-type storage disk in the source storage device. Based on the transmission time length and the aging degree, it can be determined to migrate the target data from the second-type storage disk to the first-type storage disk, and, accordingly, the target data can be replicated from the first-type storage disk in the source storage device to the destination storage device. The data replication of the described technology can significantly improve data replication efficiency, and reduce the possibility of data loss, thereby significantly improving the performance of a storage system.
