Hi @dujas

I followed this guide to setup binary replication for DB with help of the DB Team and I feel you should do the same

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Binary_Replication_Tutorial

For Jira, it's pretty simple, and please find the Doc here

https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/disaster-recovery-guide-for-jira-692782022.html

Note that, once you have set up the DR mode, you should do this in the test instance first and try to recover the instance for the drill test.

Thanks,
Pramodh

Hi Pramodh,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using Postgresql 12.9 as the database for the JSM and would like to deploy a DR. In the URL I pasted, it mentioned using binary replication for PGL, does it mean streaming replication or logical replication? As the link it referred to is PGL 9.0.

Besides, in the DR guide step 1, it says "Configure the system to attach to the standby database." and there is a warning saying that DO NOT start jira, does this mean I have to prepare the dbconfig.xml on my own and do not run the initialization of JSM?

Thanks.
