Backup Region Assignment Dialog Box

Global Editions systems can be configured for database redundancy, at the Regional level. A Regional Database Server can assign another for backup in the event of a failure at the default Regional Database Server.

Regional database redundancy and fileserver redundancy operate independently. One or the other, or both can fail at the same time, whether they reside on the same server computer or are configured to reside on separate computers. Secure Perfect initiates three tries to fail over to another fileserver. This process is taking place in the background. After three tries with no success, an SPFileServer interface attempts to locate an available fileserver. If all attempts fail, the interface generates an alarm.

If you select a failover Regional Server and want your clients to failover to the backup Server, you must also select the Client Region Failover checkbox on the Client form, Client tab.
