With Replays, you can send your existing data to new tools.
1212
This means you can send a limited sample of your data to a new tool to test it out, and run similar tools in parallel to verify the data format or accuracy of the output. Finally, when you're ready to switch to a new tool, you can replay a full set of your data to the new tool to backfill it with data that extends before you set up the tool - no warm-up time or operational gap to disrupt your work.

With Replays, you're protected from outages and errors. If a destination which you rely on experiences an outage, or temporarily isn't able to accept incoming data, you can use Replays to re-send data to that tool once the service recovers. You can also use Replays to recover from errors caused by misconfigurations in your Segment systems - sending data in the wrong format, or want to apply [destination filters](/docs/connections/destinations/destination-filters/)? Change your mapping, clear out the bad data, and replay it from the source. You can also use this to update the schema in your data warehouse when it changes.
