A computer-implemented method, comprising: determining a bandwidth policy for replication of deduplicated data from a first deduplication location (102, 202) to a second deduplication location (104, 210), the bandwidth policy allocating a predetermined replication bandwidth limit available to the first deduplication location for the replication of the deduplicated data from the first deduplication location to the second deduplication location, the first deduplication location including a plurality of first grid servers and the second deduplication location including a plurality of second grid servers, the first and second deduplication locations being communicatively coupled via a network (112, 208); assigning, in accordance with the determined bandwidth policy, a first replication bandwidth to each first grid server, such that a sum of assigned first replication bandwidths does not exceed the predetermined replication bandwidth limit available to the first deduplication location; receiving backup data, at an ingestion rate, by one or more of the first grid servers at the first deduplication location; deduplicating, by the one or more of the first grid servers at the first deduplication location, the received backup data to generate deduplicated data; replicating, using the determined bandwidth policy and the first replication bandwidth assigned to each of the one or more first grid servers at the first deduplication location, the generated deduplicated data from the one or more first grid servers at the first deduplication location to one or more of the second grid servers at the second deduplication location; rebalancing, based on a consumption of replication bandwidth by each of the one or more first grid servers in the plurality of first grid servers and a difference between the predetermined replication bandwidth limit and the sum of assigned first replication bandwidths, available bandwidth between the plurality of first grid servers and assigning, based on the rebalancing, a second replication bandwidth limit to each first grid server in the plurality of first grid servers, such that a sum of assigned second replication bandwidths does not exceed the predetermined replication bandwidth limit available to the first deduplication location; and replicating, using the determined bandwidth policy and the second replication bandwidth limit assigned to each first grid server, deduplicated data from the first deduplication location to the second deduplication location. determining a bandwidth policy for replication of deduplicated data from a first deduplication location (102, 202) to a second deduplication location (104, 210), the bandwidth policy allocating a predetermined replication bandwidth limit available to the first deduplication location for the replication of the deduplicated data from the first deduplication location to the second deduplication location, the first deduplication location including a plurality of first grid servers and the second deduplication location including a plurality of second grid servers, the first and second deduplication locations being communicatively coupled via a network (112, 208); assigning, in accordance with the determined bandwidth policy, a first replication bandwidth to each first grid server, such that a sum of assigned first replication bandwidths does not exceed the predetermined replication bandwidth limit available to the first deduplication location; receiving backup data, at an ingestion rate, by one or more of the first grid servers at the first deduplication location; deduplicating, by the one or more of the first grid servers at the first deduplication location, the received backup data to generate deduplicated data; replicating, using the determined bandwidth policy and the first replication bandwidth assigned to each of the one or more first grid servers at the first deduplication location, the generated deduplicated data from the one or more first grid servers at the first deduplication location to one or more of the second grid servers at the second deduplication location; rebalancing, based on a consumption of replication bandwidth by each of the one or more first grid servers in the plurality of first grid servers and a difference between the predetermined replication bandwidth limit and the sum of assigned first replication bandwidths, available bandwidth between the plurality of first grid servers and assigning, based on the rebalancing, a second replication bandwidth limit to each first grid server in the plurality of first grid servers, such that a sum of assigned second replication bandwidths does not exceed the predetermined replication bandwidth limit available to the first deduplication location; and replicating, using the determined bandwidth policy and the second replication bandwidth limit assigned to each first grid server, deduplicated data from the first deduplication location to the second deduplication location.
