-
Backup from replica
Specifies whether to back up the database from a CCR replica using VSS shadow copy. When this option is selected, backups performed for all subclients on this agent will use VSS to back up the replica database.
-
Backup on active node if passive node is unavailable
Specifies whether to back up the database from the active node of a CCR cluster using VSS shadow copy, in cases where the passive node is not available (for example, failover will cause the passive node to become the active node, after which the passive node is unavailable). When this option is selected, backups performed for all subclients on this agent will use VSS to back up the database from the active node of a CCR cluster when the passive node is not available.
Note
When this option is selected, the software attempts to run the backup from the active node if database replication is in a suspended state.
