sync_methods:
  full_sync:
    description: "Complete data refresh"
    use_when:
      - Initial sync
      - Schema changes
      - Disaster recovery
    considerations:
      - Downtime required
      - Resource intensive
      
  incremental_sync:
    description: "Changes only"
    tracking_methods:
      - timestamps (updated_at)
      - change_data_capture (CDC)
      - triggers
      - log_based
    advantages:
      - Minimal data transfer
      - Near real-time

    use_when:
      - Analytics
      - Reporting
      - Backup
