If i not manually deactivate the units but i have a power failure and i
have to reboot a server involved in the replication, do i have to
manually activate the sync or it will be activated on reboot if i launch
the messageserver and syncservice automatically, i can lost many data if
i have to activate this manually after hardware/so failure.

Ok i will try to design this way.
