Replication Strategies

Replication strategies are methods used to copy and synchronize data across multiple storage locations or systems, ensuring data availability, reliability, and fault tolerance. Common approaches include full replication, where everything is copied; incremental replication, which updates only changes; and asynchronous replication, where copies are made after a delay, allowing for better performance. These strategies help protect data from loss, enable disaster recovery, and support load balancing, providing continuous access even if one system fails. Choosing the right strategy depends on factors like data importance, speed requirements, and available resources.
