Overview: Establishing a standby scenario
A standby scenario is created in a number of steps: The following order is recommended:
1. Setting up a SwyxServer as a standby SwyxServer (Configuration of a standby SwyxServer)
2. Configuring the standby parameters for the standby SwyxServer (Standby parameters for the standby SwyxServer)
3. Setting up a SwyxServer as a master SwyxServer (Installation of a Master SwyxServer)
4. Configuring the standby parameters for the master SwyxServer (Standby parameters for the Master SwyxServer)
5. Installation of separated services, e.g. SwyxFax Server or SwyxGate (Installation of a SwyxWare component on an additional computer)
* 
Always install and configure first the standby system and then the master system. This procedure is recommended, because for the configuration of the replication the standby system must already be installed and must run.
* 
The master SwyxServer initially overwrites the database contents. Thus if an existing standard system becomes a standby server, all data of the database and the user configuration is lost.
For updating a standby scenario which already exists, see Update of an existing standby scenario to a new version.
