Data replication typically involves three main components:
Source Data: The original data set that needs to be replicated. Replication Process: The mechanism by which data is copied, which can be real-time or scheduled. Target Data: The destination where the replicated data is stored.
Various methods can be used for replication, such as full replication, where the entire data set is copied, or incremental replication, which only updates changes made since the last replication.
