+# Set the replication backlog size. The backlog is a buffer that accumulates
+# slave data when slaves are disconnected for some time, so that when a slave
+# wants to reconnect again, often a full resync is not needed, but a partial
+# resync is enough, just passing the portion of data the slave missed while
+# disconnected.
+#
+# The biggest the replication backlog, the longer the time the slave can be
+# disconnected and later be able to perform a partial resynchronization.
+#
+# The backlog is only allocated once there is at least a slave connected.
+#
+# repl-backlog-size 1mb

+# After a master has no longer connected slaves for some time, the backlog
+# will be freed. The following option configures the amount of seconds that
+# need to elapse, starting from the time the last slave disconnected, for
+# the backlog buffer to be freed.

+# A value of 0 means to never release the backlog.

 # The slave priority is an integer number published by Redis in the INFO output.
 # It is used by Redis Sentinel in order to select a slave to promote into a
 # master if the master is no longer working correctly.
