Figure 140 - 2X Backup Server Properties
NOTE: The ‘Install…’ button change according to the status of the selected
server. In fact it will change to ‘Update…’ if an old version of the 2X Backup
Server is found, while it will change to ‘Take Over’ if the selected server is
already configured with a 2x Publishing Agent configured as a master server.
Modifying 2X Backup Servers
To change the properties of each backup server, select the particular server
and click ‘Properties’. One can enable or disable the selected backup server
while one can also install, update or uninstall the backup server from the
properties dialog.
To delete a particular backup server, select the required server from the
Backup Servers list and click ‘Delete’.
Each backup server in the list is given a priority. By default the local 2X
Publishing Agent is given the Master priority and this cannot be changed. One
can change the priority of the backup server.
To assign a higher priority in the backup list select the required backup server
from the list and click ‘Move up’.
To assign a lower priority in the backup list select the required backup server
from the list and click ‘Move Down’.
The Backup Server with priority configured as ‘Backup Server 1’ will be the
first backup server to take over in case the Master Server is not available.
Additional backup servers will take over in case ‘Backup Server 1’ is also not
available according to their priority.
Promoting a Backup server to a Master Server
When the primary server cannot be recovered due to various reasons such as
hardware failure or OS startup failure one can easily promote a 2X Backup
Server to a Master server.
