[Multi-instance destination capabilities](/docs/connections/destinations/add-destination#connecting-one-source-to-multiple-instances-of-a-destination) can replace the legacy Repeater destination, which was previously used to forward data from a single Segment source to multiple instances of a destination.

Compared to using a Repeater, multi-instance destination configurations simplify setup, provide better observability into event delivery, and reduce event volume, which reduces your costs. However, it does not replace the Repeater in all situations. If you’re using a Repeater for data transformations or to filter Personas events, you will need to continue using the Repeater.

This could result in minor data loss during the few seconds between the Repeater being disabled and the new destination instance being enabled. You can use the Segment Config API [Update Destination endpoint](https://reference.segmentapis.com/#f25d9ac1-3e20-4635-8687-26ed4153086d) to disable and enable destinations quickly, which can minimize the time between these two actions. However, we cannot guarantee that no data will be lost.

If your workspace is on the Business Tier, and the destination supports [Replay](/docs/guides/what-is-replay/), you can replay the data from that period into the new destination instance. Replays are available for any destinations which support cloud-mode data (meaning data routed through Segment) and which also process timestamps. Contact your CSM for more information about replays. If the destination does not de-duplicate events and replays are not available, you can manually delete duplicate events in the destination.
