Evaluation of Remote Backup Algorithms for Transaction Processing Systems

Summary: Experimental DB prototype evaluates epoch (a 1-safe) vs 2-safe remote backup strategies and commit propagation under varied workloads. Also analyzes multi-stream log propagation to primary/backup sites, highlighting availability and performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
