A snapshot of selected objects in a source repository is created in response to the user-initiated replication. The snapshot is designated as a snapshot replication job. The snapshot replication job is added to the end of a replication queue to await execution for the synchronized object replication. Unsynchronized objects in a target destination are detected by comparing a state of the selected objects in the snapshot with a current state of the target destination at the time of execution of the snapshot replication job. The unsynchronized objects in the target destination are synchronized based upon the comparison of the state of the selected objects in the snapshot with the current state of the target destination at the time of execution of the snapshot replication job.
