Abstract
Techniques for data replication involve acquiring, in response to receiving a data replication request, compressibility information of a data block at a source end. Such techniques further involve determining a compressibility marker for the data block based on the compressibility information. Such techniques further involve replicating the data block and the compressibility marker to a target end via a transmission path, wherein the compressibility marker indicates whether the data block is compressible at the target end. Accordingly, the transmission delay during data replication can be reduced, and the data throughput can be increased. At the same time, the risk of failing to recover data due to long transmission delay can be reduced. In addition, compression attempts are no longer made on incompressible data blocks thus reducing unnecessary computation during the replication process, thereby achieving efficient utilization of system resources and improving the user experience.
