Overview
Couchbase Lite supports replication between two local databases at the database, scope, or collection level. This allows a Couchbase Lite replicator to store data on secondary storage. It is useful in scenarios when a user’s device is damaged and its data is moved to a different device.
Example 1. Replication between Local Databases

// This is an Enterprise feature:

// if it's compiled against CBL Android Community Edition.
// Note: the target database must already contain the
// source collections or the replication will fail.
val repl = Replicator(
ReplicatorConfigurationFactory.newConfig(
collections = CollectionConfiguration.fromCollections(srcCollections),
target = DatabaseEndpoint(targetDb),
type = ReplicatorType.PUSH
)
)
// Start the replicator
// (be sure to hold a reference somewhere that will prevent it from being GCed)
repl.start()
thisReplicator = repl// This is an Enterprise feature:
