Suggested Housekeeping Guidelines for Projects : Global : Risks of Aligning Databases Across Locations by File Copying
On occasion if there have been unexpected interrupts in the Daemon service the Secondary databases can become completely misaligned with the Primary databases. To repair this, there is a temptation to simply delete the Secondary databases and file copy the Primary database out to the secondary location. The risk in this is that, in spite of a very diligent approach, human error can occur and there is a risk of reverse propagation i.e. a Secondary database thinking it is Primary. In this scenario the Recover process should be followed. See Change Primary ‑ Repair Process.
