A method for managing data replicated by an asynchronous copy service. The method includes a computer processor identifying a set of information associated with an element of data stored in an I/O queue. The method further includes modifying an order to transmit elements of data in the I/O queue based, at least in part, on the identified set of information associated with the element of data in the I/O queue. The method further includes transmitting one or more elements of data in the I/O queue, to a secondary storage location that is network accessible, based at least in part on the order to transmit elements of data in the I/O queue.
