-# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
-# with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
-# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
-# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
-# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
-# every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
-# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
-#
-# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
-# like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
-# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
-# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.
-#
-# IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
-# log file in background when it gets too big.
+# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. This mode is
+# good enough in many applications, but an issue with the Redis process or
+# a power outage may result into a few minutes of writes lost (depending on
+# the configured save points).
+#
+# The Append Only File is an alternative persistence mode that provides
+# much better durability. For instance using the default data fsync policy
+# (see later in the config file) Redis can lose just one second of writes in a
+# dramatic event like a server power outage, or a single write if something
+# wrong with the Redis process itself happens, but the operating system is
+# still running correctly.
+#
+# AOF and RDB persistence can be enabled at the same time without problems.
+# If the AOF is enabled on startup Redis will load the AOF, that is the file
+# with the better durability guarantees.
