How data is replicated from the Primary Replica to the Secondary Replica in a SQL Server Always On Availability Group

Image
When it comes to high availability in SQL Server, Always On Availability Groups offer a robust solution for ensuring data resilience and fault tolerance. At the heart of this technology is a sophisticated log-based replication mechanism distinct from traditional database mirroring or snapshot replication. Let’s walk through exactly how data moves from the Primary Replica to the Secondary Replica, step by step. High-Level Process Flow  Primary Replica → Log Generation → Log Transport → Log Reception → Redo → Acknowledgement. Step-by-Step Explanation 1. Client Writes Data to Primary Replica * A client application sends a transaction (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE) to the Primary Replica. * SQL Server writes this transaction to the transaction log of the primary database. * This log write is made to the log buffer and flushed to disk before the transaction is considered committed. 2. Log Block is Captured by the Always On Transport Manager * The HADR_LOG_SEND_MANAGER process monitors the trans...

Accelerated Database Recovery (ADR) in SQL Server

Image
Accelerated Database Recovery (ADR) is one of the most transformative features in recent SQL Server releases, and with SQL Server 2025, it’s more powerful and flexible than ever. ADR is a SQL Server feature designed to drastically improve database availability by reengineering the recovery process. Traditional recovery could take a long time, especially with long-running transactions, because SQL Server had to scan the transaction log from the oldest uncommitted transaction. ADR changes this by introducing a new architecture that makes recovery and rollback nearly instantaneous, regardless of transaction length or database activity. Key Benefits : Fast and consistent recovery : Recovery time is no longer affected by the number or size of active transactions. Instantaneous rollback : Even very long-running transactions can be rolled back instantly. Aggressive log truncation : The transaction log is truncated more aggressively, preventing log growth even with active long transactions. H...
