- Supports object locking/retention across source and destination buckets natively out of the box, unlike AWS S3.

Replication status can be seen in the metadata on the source and destination objects. On the source side, the `X-Amz-Replication-Status` changes from `PENDING` to `COMPLETE` or `FAILED` after replication attempt either succeeded or failed respectively. On the destination side, a `X-Amz-Replication-Status` status of `REPLICA` indicates that the object was replicated successfully. Any replication failures are automatically re-attempted during a periodic disk crawl cycle.
To perform bi-directional replication, repeat the above process on the target site - this time setting the source bucket as the replication target.
