Is there a need to take a backup of local database in terracotta , if it determines there is a synchronization problem. It is going to fetch latest copy of data from active server and use it anyways. So what is the point in taking a backup at that time?

Is there a way to disable the whole mechanism, i.e disabling dirtyDb files?

Thanks in advance !!

There's a tc.property (l2.nha.dirtydb.backup.enabled) that controls this. You can put it into your tc-config.xml in a <tc-properties> element like so:

Code:

   <tc-properties>
      <property name="l2.nha.dirtydb.backup.enabled" value="false"/>
   </tc-properties>

Thank you !!

one more query :)
what are the impacts if we disable this ?

what exactly DirtyDb files contains and how these file create ?

Thanks in Advance !!

These dirty db backups are kept around as a safety net in case the server automatically deletes something that might have been useful.

With an active/passive setup you'll always have a live backup. This is only useful in cases of a failure of both active and passive and something else goes wrong causing both servers to decide to delete their databases prior to starting up.
