Ok so a question i should have asked at the very beginning .. If i touch my trigger file - promoting the secondary to a master - will that in anyway effect the master thats already running ?
IE no files on the master will change ? Then all i'll have to do is shutdown the secondary when i've finished and run the basebackup process again to restore replication (and change recovery.done - conf again. thanks.
