Abstract
Various systems and methods for configuring a duplication operation. For example, a method involves specifying a duplication window, a source storage device, and a target storage device. When a duplication operation is executed, data is copied from the source storage device to the target storage device during the duplication window. The method also involves calculating a predicted duplication rate, where the predicted duplication rate is an estimate of a rate at which data can be copied from the source storage device to the target storage device.
