Another reason replication is not quite a backup is that it does not get _local docs, or the _security object. Also, in some situations (if you have good storage capacity and bandwidth) you would want to back up views too which is much easier from the OS layer, not the CouchDB layer. I wrote about this in a similar discussion here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201012.mbox/%[email protected]%3E -- Iris Couch
