A method and system for use in a computing environment for selecting a
subset of records from a set of records for placement of the subset of
records in a plurality of destinations. A group of replica records is
formed for a record of the subset of records, and a destination
identification is assigned to each replica record, except one, of the
group of replica records. A replica record associated with one of the
plurality of destinations can be selected and can be placed in the
associated destination.
