Does SignalR backplane Sync connected groups as in Groups.Add across servers? I know it publishes messages but its not clear if groups are also synced.Essentially I want to know if a server goes down in a web farm will the other servers have the same groups configured?

If so is there any documentation to support this?

Thanks,

Yes, the backplane does maintain groups, it adds the serverid to group, so you essentially have a group of groups. The parent group being the serverid in the the farm. Its not explained well, but you can find the explanation here: http://www.asp.net/signalr/overview/performance/scaleout-in-signalr

Search in the comments for group, you will see a bit more of a detailed explanation, but its not great.
