Configure the Replication System to Prevent Data Loss

Learn the recommended measures for preventing data loss in the event of an irrecoverable database error. If used properly, these measures allow you to restore replicated data using the system recovery procedures.

• Save Interval for Recovery
  Replication Servers are designed to store messages from their source and forward them to their destinations. To increase the chances of recovering online messages after rebuilding stable queues, you can set save intervals, measured in minutes, for routes between Replication Servers.
• Back up the RSSDs
  Perform a dump of your RSSDs following any replication DDL, such as changing routes or adding subscriptions.
• Create Coordinated Dumps
  When you must recover a primary database by restoring backups, you must also make sure that replicate data in the affected databases at other sites is consistent with the primary data.
