Description of Linked Ticket
Summary
Add an option to perform initial sync using file copies.
Motivation
Initial sync takes a long time. It does a logical copy, which will always be slower than solutions that do a physical copy. When doing initial sync, most users care the most about the speed of the initial sync instead of other benefits received from logical copy, such as compaction. Users don’t always have a backup to restore from to do initial sync. We don’t officially support tools/processes for initial sync using iterative rsync or backup cursors. By building this functionality directly into the server, we’ll make this the option of choice for users that don’t need to sync across storage engines or across versions.
