Title: SME Server as Backup DC
Post by: 3ll10t on September 25, 2017, 12:02:59 PM

Hi,

Building another SME Server 9.2 to act as backup/failover for primary DC which is also SME 9.2.

Anyone know of preliminary support that can help me with this?

ATM this feature is not available.. the only way to achieve it is to keep your second server in sync with the main one (affa or a custom rsync script).
if your main server will die, you've to "raise" the backup one.. affa works quite well AFAIR for such a task
I have some servers with a custom rsync script that almost do the same (but it's not something I'll suggest here..)
