Replication for enterprise geodatabase having picture attachment

yockee — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 09:01:05 GMT

What is the best replication scenario for Feature Service that has picture attachment ? This feature Layer is consumed by Field Map / Survey123

I want to create a backup so that if there is emergency, I can restore it quickly.

thanks

A replica isn't a backup; it's a point-in-time snapshot.

A true standby database is right pattern for failover/resiliency.

Ok, got it Vince.

So, if I have to choose a replication method, what would be the best ? One way or Two way ?

thanks

Use a backup solution for a backup purpose, and a failover solution for a failover purpose.

There is no "best" replication solution here.
