automatic synchronization

e process of updating two replicas in which all updated records and objects are exchanged. The exchange of data between two replicas can be one-way or two-way and may be handled by a Synchronizer.

Synchronization that is accomplished automatically by SQL Server. A snapshot is taken of the table schema and data, and that snapshot is written to files for transfer. The job to copy the table schema and data is transferred like any other replication job, via the distribution database. No operator intervention is required.
