Activate failover server

To failover from the Main Archive Server, you need to manually activate the standby (Backup) Archive Server.

The Main Archive Server must be running to activate the Backup Archive Server.

When part of a Main-Backup server deployment, the Recorder Manager on the Backup server displays the Activate Failover button on the global Operations > Settings page. This button executes a failover to the local box.

The failover process automatically manages the archive points between active and standby servers such that no content is missed.

When the Main Server is again functional, click the Activate Failover button in the Recorder Manager of the Main Server to restore normal operations. The Backup Archive Server returns to the Standby state.
