# 4—Replication: Configuring a Job After Creating a Bucket

The [Object Replication](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/bucket-replication) feature enables you to copy objects from an active storage bucket (source) to one or more different buckets (destination(s)). This lets you duplicate your objects and protect against problems such as malicious activities, natural disasters, and user errors.

When you are creating a bucket, you can indicate that you want to configure a replication job immediately after the bucket is created.
