1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining to perform a replication of data from first computing equipment to second computing equipment, wherein the data is stored within a path in a file system of the first computing equipment;
determining the path from a replication policy for the replication;
while tree-walking the path,
in response to determining that a first file is marked for priority replication, adding the first file to a priority queue, and
in response to determining that a second file lacks a marking for priority replication, adding the second file to a normal queue; and
in response to determining that the priority queue contains files, replicating the files from the priority queue instead of replicating other files from the normal queue.
