The Restart / Restart Copy function is provided in COLD operating mode. Restart / Restart Copy gives the same result as the Operating / Restart function. In contrast to the Restart function, the Restart / Restart Copy function updates the distributed data of the database by copying instead of applying the log of the majority serverdb. This function is useful, for example, if the log of the majority serverdb does no longer contain the needed data. Before the global, distributed data is copied from the majority serverdb, it is deleted on the local serverdb.
