## Data recovery
If a Gitaly node fails replication jobs for any reason, it ends up hosting outdated versions of
the affected repositories. Praefect provides tools for automatically or manually reconciling
the outdated repositories in order to bring them fully up to date again.
If a Gitaly node fails replication jobs for any reason, it ends up hosting outdated versions of the
affected repositories. Praefect provides tools for:
- [Automatic](#automatic-reconciliation) reconciliation, for GitLab 13.4 and later.
- [Manual](#manual-reconciliation) reconciliation, for:
- GitLab 13.3 and earlier.
- Repositories upgraded to GitLab 13.4 and later without entries in the `repositories` table.
A migration tool [is planned](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/issues/3033).
These tools reconcile the outdated repositories to bring them fully up to date again.
