1. A system for intent-driven storage tiers that protect and replicate assets, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
create a mapping of a storage intent defined for a digital asset to one of a plurality of primary storage tiers of a primary protection storage system in response to receiving a user definition of the storage intent for the digital asset, the mapped primary storage tier matching the storage intent;
store, in response to receiving a request to store a copy of the digital asset, a copy of the digital asset with the storage intent in the mapped primary storage tier based on the mapping of the storage intent to the primary storage tier;
create a mapping of the storage intent to one of a plurality of secondary storage tiers in a secondary protection storage system, the mapped secondary storage tier matching the storage intent, in response to receiving a request to replicate the copy of the digital asset; and
replicate each copy of the digital asset that is stored in the mapped primary storage tier, and the storage intent, to the mapped secondary storage tier based on the mapping of the storage intent to the secondary storage tier.
