Setting up A Failover server on Linux

[Mark Jones]

Hi its been a while since I configured the failover server I'm at the installation type. Do I setup the failover server as new installation using the same license as my primary server and then run through the failover configuration?

To use failover, yes you would use the same license key.

However, this feature requires Pro or Enterprise. And I am unsure whether the free upgrade

If using Pro license, you need two Pro licenses (different license keys) , where Ent allows you to run two 3CX using the same license key

Usually you would, and then set the Backup Location of both servers to a Google Bucket or SFTP or SMB, and then the failover instance should have the restore schedule enabled.

The link I posted should give you all the details you need.
