When a new member joins the replica set, it receives the data from the existing replica set node via the initial sync.

In Percona Server for MongoDB, you can choose a file copy-based initial sync for a new node. You must have WiredTiger defined as the storage.
In [Percona Server for MongoDB Pro](psmdb-pro.md), you can choose a file copy-based initial sync for a new node. You must have WiredTiger defined as the storage.

The file copy-based initial sync method is a physical copying of the data files from the source to the target. It is much faster than the default [logical initial sync :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/replica-set-sync/#logical-initial-sync-process) for big datasets (500GB+), which is especially beneficial in heavy write environments. Using this initial sync method speeds up cluster scaling and increases restore performance.

File copy-based initial sync implementation is compatible with that of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and has the same [configuration parameters](#configuration-parameters).
File copy-based initial sync implementation is compatible with that of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and has the same [configuration parameters](#configuration-parameters). It is available in [Percona Server for MongoDB Pro](psmdb-pro.md) out of the box starting with version 7.0.22-12. You can also receive this functionality by [building Percona Server for MongoDB from source code](install/source.md).

To select the initial sync method, specify the `initialSyncMethod` parameter in the configuration file for the target node:
