Configuring optional settings

If you want to configure optional protection settings, click Configure protection from the main

Full-Server Failover Manager window, after you have selected your source and target. You can also

select Actions, Configure Protection. There are multiple tabs for different types of protection

settings. The Protection tab determines what on the source will be protected and how the target will

handle the protection. The Failover tab controls how the failover process will be handled. The

Advanced tab specifies how the connection between the source and target is configured. Review the

details below for each of the optional protection settings.

 Volumes to include—Select the volumes that you want to protect. You must have the same

volumes on the source and target. You cannot deselect the boot volume. If you deselect other

volumes, you will not be protecting the entire source server.

 Directories to exclude—Select the directories that you want to exclude. If you exclude any

directories, you will not be protecting the entire source server.

 Add—Click Add to specify a directory to exclude. Enter the name of the directory or click

Browse to search for the directory path. Specify Recursive if sub-directories of the listed

directory should be excluded also. Specify Non-recursive if sub-directories of the listed

directory should be included. Click OK to add the directory to the list of Directories to

exclude. Repeat this step to add multiple directories.

 Edit—Highlight a directory in the list and click Edit to modify the directory definition. After

modifying the directory, click OK to save the changes.

 Remove—Highlight a directory in the list and click Remove to delete the directory definition.

The directory will no longer be excluded.

 Target services—Full-Server Failover Manager determines what services are currently running

on the target. You can specify which services you want to keep running and those services you

want to stop when you enable your protection. Move the services between the Services to stop

and Services to leave running lists by using the double arrows. Select Show critical services

to see the list of critical services that will remain running on the target. The critical services are

displayed in a lighter colored, italics font. The critical services cannot be moved from the running

list.

 Snapshots—A snapshot is an image of data taken at a single point in time. Snapshots allow you

to view files and folders as they existed at points of time in the past, so you can, for example,

recover from cases where corrupted source data was replicated to the target. By default,

Full-Server Failover takes periodic snapshots of the data on the target. When failover is triggered,

you can use the target data at the time of failover or you can revert to a snapshot of the target

data.

 Enable periodic snapshots—By default, periodic snapshots are enabled. If you disable

snapshots, the data on the target at the time of a failure will be used. Because Full-Server

Failover uses the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy service to create snapshots, your target

must be running Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 or later. If you are using an earlier version of

Windows, this option will not be available. Additionally, your source and target must be using

the NTFS file system. If you are using a FAT file system, the FAT volumes will not be included

in the snapshot set, and when the snapshots are reverted, the FAT volume will not be

time-consistent with the NTFS volumes.

 Snapshot Interval—By default, Full-Server Failover will take a snapshot of the target data

every 60 minutes. If desired, increase or decrease the interval between snapshots.

 Start now—If you want to start taking snapshots immediately after the Full-Server Failover

connection is established, select Start now.

 Start at—If you want to start taking snapshots at a specific data and time, select Start at

and specify the date and time parameters.

 Failover—The Failover section configures how failover monitoring occurs.

 Manual intervention required—By default, you will be notified when a failover is necessary,

but the failover process will not start until you manually initiate it. If you disable intervention,

failover will automatically start when a failure is detected.

 Monitor Interval—By default, the target checks to see if the source is online every five (5)

seconds. The source responds back to the target when it receives one of these checks. If

desired, increase or decrease the interval between checks.
