+############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
+
+# 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.log. 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.
+#
+# The name of the append only file is "appendonly.log"
+#
+# IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
+# log file in background when it gets too big.
+
+appendonly no
+
+# The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk
+# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush 
+# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
+#
+# Redis supports three different modes:
+#
+# no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
+# always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
+# everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
+#
+# The default is "always" that's the safer of the options. It's up to you to
+# understand if you can relax this to "everysec" that will fsync every second
+# or to "no" that will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
+# it want, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
+# some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting).
