One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for granular replication for data protection. For example, a first storage controller may host a first volume. A consistency group, comprising a subset of files, logical unit numbers, and/or other data of the first volume, is defined through a consistency group configuration. A baseline transfer, using a baseline snapshot of the first volume, is used to create a replicated consistency group within a second volume hosted by a second storage controller. In this way, an arbitrary level of granularity is used to synchronize/replicate a subset of the first volume to the second volume. If a synchronous replication relationship is specified, then one or more incremental transfer are performed and a synchronous replication engine is implemented. If an asynchronous replication relationship is specified, then snapshots are used to identify delta data of the consistency group for updating the replication consistency group.
