+Interruptions During Sync
+-------------------------
+
+The following considerations pertain to interruptions during the
+``mongosync`` process. 
+
+Errors and Crashes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If ``mongosync`` encounters an error or becomes unavailable during
+synchronization, or you can resume your ``mongosync`` operation from where
+it stopped. The ``mongosync`` binary is stateless and stores the
+metadata for a restart on the destination cluster. 
+
+To continue sync, restart ``mongosync`` once it becomes available again
+and use the same parameters as your interupted sync. Once you restart
+``mongosync``, the process resumes from where it stopped.
+
+Cluster Availability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If your source or destination cluster crashes unexpectedly, you can safely
+restart ``mongosync`` from where it left off. Once your cluster is available
+again, restart ``mongosync`` and use the same parameters as your interupted
+sync.

+Paused Sync
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If ``mongosync`` is in the :ref:`PAUSED <c2c-state-paused>` state,
+``mongosync`` does not support the following actions:
+
+- Upgrading the MongoDB version of the source or destination cluster
+- Enabling and then disabling the balancer
+
+You can upgrade ``mongosync`` while it is in the ``PAUSED`` state.
