Active-Passive HA Multi Machine

Hello,

Does anyone have experience in implementing active passive high availability in a multimachine environment? The architecture is shown below:

If so, do you have any guidelines that I can read? Because the guideline provided by Esri is not really clear.

Thank you.

Hi @MuhammadNaufalIhsan ,

What I recommend doing is using the WebGISDR utility to create a FULL backup, and then INCREMENTAL backups afterwards. For example, you could create a FULL backup once a week, and then an INCREMENTAL backup each night. The FULL backup would need to imported into the Passive environment first, and then the INCREMENTAL backup afterwards.

Here is a script example on how to automate a WebGISDR backup. You could update the script to perform the import as well.

Hi @JakeSkinner

Does it work for all enterprise components (Portal, Server, Datastore)? Does it also work for data from EGDB?

Yes

Does it also work for data from EGDB?

No, another workflow (i.e. database backup/restore) would be required to keep the Enterprise Geodatabases in-sync.
