    Are you sure that IBM best practice recommends so? If you are referring to this from IBM:

    "Never rely only on replication as your method of database backup. A damaged or accidentally changed database may replicate, and then your only recourse is to recover the database from a server backup tape."

    Then, I think the interpretation of this is to not rely on 'just' replication. But backing up from replicas shall still hold good.

    Pardon me if you are referring to some other recommendation from IBM, in which case, would you mind sharing it here.
