nickva commented on issue #1494: CouchDB's replicated DB is a copy or reference to original? URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1494#issuecomment-410933908 Hi @monica18p, The replicated DB is a new copy. In the most general terms, it takes all the documents and attachments in the original DB (called the `source`) and puts them into a new DB (called the `target`). If the replication is a `continuous replication`, then the `source` is also then monitored for any new changes, and, if they are any, those change are copied to the `target` as well. Hope this helps, Cheers
