Well, either case really. In the case of the "resident" flag, this is not replicated. Even if we use a traditional region (created using the RegionManager) I don't believe this is recreated on the buddy backup instance, since Regions are explicitly created on each instance. I could be wrong as I haven't checked the code yet, but I'm pretty sure regions aren't reflected in a buddy backup subtree.
