Description

If a backup starts and it turns out there are no live brokers to replicate from it will wait until one comes online. However if a current live stops being replicated it is not retried. th passive backup should retry after a specific wait time and try all the servers available again.

 

this is to cover the following scenario

 

1. live comes up
2. 2. backup comes up and replicates
3. another backup comes up and fails to replicate as there are no lives
4. 1st backup stops

At this point the backup needs to retry to find a live, this is the code ive added
