Setup of Failover Server

[javon202]

Hi All,

In doing the failover server, is it that you can download the configuration file from the active server and then upload it to the failover server under "Restore an exsiting backup configuration?" I can't find documentation to suggest when setting up the 2nd server and selecting "Restore an existing backup configuration" that it will or will not automatically become active and take over from our existing active server or does it just sit there passively?

Thanks.

Have you read the docs? It's pretty well explained.

I have but I'm new the 3cx so I'm not a too sure.

As mentioned in the guide, when configuring the Passive Server's scheduled restore process, you must enable the "Do not start services after restore" option.
