Since the downstream database is a different instance, it creates its own IDs and timestamps when the data is transferred.
The result is two databases that look similar, but have slight inconsistencies.

Fault tolerance can be achieved by hosting Neo4j in a link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}operations-manual/current/clustering/introduction/[cluster].

I'm not sure if we should include this. Could we point towards the backup and copy buttons in Aura? If so, how would we write something like that?

Thanks for the documentation updates.

The preview documentation has now been torn down - reopening this PR will republish it.
