How to Install and Operation Backup Encryption Server | AnySecura Manual

This chapter introduces the AnySecura Backup Server, a resilient component of the Backup Encryption Server module. You'll understand how it acts as a standby, ensuring your encryption policies remain available even if the primary server encounters an issue.

We'll walk through its flexible deployment and continuous operation, showing you how to seamlessly integrate this safeguard into your environment to maintain uninterrupted data protection.


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.
