Dear all, I set up a new server for one of our customers and will use the old server and library as target for replication. First I tried to export the data, but this takes too long due to the amount of data. So my next approach is to set up replication from the existing server to the new one and afterwards switch the roles: the former source server becomes the target server and vice versa, later on I switch both rules and replicate from the new server to the old one.
Unfortunately some data was backed up to the "former source server" but not replicated to the "former target server" when switching the roles for some nodes. So now some backups are already run to the "new source server" (former target) server and the "new" target server (former source server) holds some data, the "new source server does" not have. What's the best way to get both servers synchronized? Perhaps I do a wrong assumption: Will that "additional" data on the "new target server" be deleted if I start the replication or can I switch the roles as often I like and synchronize by replicating the data first in one direction and then vice versa?
