Priority: For a server, you can choose the priority with relation to other servers.

If there are multiple servers in the same place with the same priority as e.g. in the case of redundant clusters, a target server is selected randomly (priorities can be changed later at any time).

Versioning: A server can save the previous version in case of changes or deletions, so that this version will be available later. for a restore after a ransomware attack (always changeable later) ..
