Thanks:-) If there is a mechanism that can provide a replication functionality with the granularity of object, that is rados can do replication of objects on behalf of higher layer features while leaving other objects not replicated if those features decide some objects need to be replicated to another cluster, wouldn't this be a better way?

And thus tricky on the RADOS level in a generic AND selectable fashion. I.e. you may NOT want to mirror your whole cluster over that puny 1Gb/s link. Secondly, what you're talking about is HA, redundancy and replication, NOT backup. A backup system should if anyhow possible not involve Ceph at all, to avoid having a single bug bringing down your li
