27.1 Backup Encryption Server: Installation and Operation

A backup server ensures that encryption clients can maintain online encryption and decryption policy permissions if the primary server fails or is stopped.

A primary server can have multiple backup servers deployed, but each backup server can only connect to one primary server at a time.

A backup server can be installed on the same machine as the primary server or on a different machine. Once running, its icon appears in the system tray.

Note:

  • The backup server should run continuously, just like the primary server, rather than being started only when the primary server fails.
