-Triggering Replication
-======================
 
-Replication is controlled through documents in the
-:ref:`_replicator <replicator>` database, where each document describes one
-replication process (see :ref:`replication-settings`).
+Transient and Persistant Replication
+====================================
+
+There are two different kinds of setting up a replication. The first one that was
+introduced into CouchDB leads do a replication that could be called `trancient`.
+Trancient means that there are no documents backing up the replication. So after a
+restart of the CouchDB server the replication will disapear. Later in time the
+:ref:`_replicator <replicator>` database was introduced which keeps documents
+containing your replication parameter. Such a replication can be called `persisent`.
