I need the Site Replication feature

I need the Site Replication feature to do remote data synchronization，like minio, can it be realized?

MinIO's site replication comes with significant risks. We've seen numerous user reports regarding data integrity issues with it. Therefore, we don't plan to implement this feature anytime soon.

We've been keeping close tabs on the MinIO ecosystem (news, Slack, and issues) for quite a while. We've seen user reports highlighting a critical data risk in the following scenario:

  1. Site A <-> Site B (Replication enabled)

  2. Site B goes down for maintenance, and some data is deleted locally.

  3. When Site B comes back online, it propagates those deletions back to Site A.

The risk of data loss here is simply too high. Because of this, we don't believe site replication is safe to implement or use at this time.

This is not a good suggestion.
