✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a new atomic commitment protocol, enhanced three phase commit (E3PC), that always allows a quorum in the system to make progress. Previously suggested quorum-based protocols (e.g., the quorum-based three phase commit (3PC) (Skeen, 1982)), allow a quorum to make progress in case of one failure. If failures cascade, however, and the quorum in the system is ``lost'' (i.e., at a given time no quorum component exists), a quorum can later become connected and still remain blocked. With our protocol, a connected quorum never blocks. E3PC is based on the quorum-based 3PC (Skeen, 1982), and it does not require more time or communication than 3PC. We describe how this protocol can be exploited in a replicated database setting, making the database always available to a majority of the sites. ] 1998

In this paper, we describe the properties of two 0-safe backup/replication methods and compare them with the traditional 1-safe and 2-safe backup/replication methods. The 1-safe and 2-safe backup/replication methods have been analyzed for many years, and their problems are well known. The properties
