 # Master-Slave replication. Use slaveof to make a Redis instance a copy of

+# another Redis server. A few things to understand ASAP about Redis replication.
+#
+# 1) Redis replication is asynchronous, but you can configure a master to
+#    stop accepting writes if it appears to be not connected with at least
+#    a given number of slaves.
+# 2) Redis slaves are able to perform a partial resynchronization with the
+#    master if the replication link is lost for a relatively small amount of
+#    time. You may want to configure the replication backlog size (see the next
+#    sections of this file) with a sensible value depending on your needs.
+# 3) Replication is automatic and does not need user intervention. After a
+#    network partition slaves automatically try to reconnect to masters
+#    and resynchronize with them.
