Github user andytaylor commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/activemq-artemis/pull/1747 There is no point in waiting until its written to disc, it just adds extra latency and gives you no extra guarantees. If the backup crashes when the live is still up then it would start replicating from scratch again anyway. If it crashes during the window after the live has crashed but before the backup has finished synching then you have lost HA anyway, however you still have data integrity at the original live broker
