When a DR Vault Server becomes active, does it automatically fail back to the original state when the primary vault comes online?

When a DR (Disaster Recovery) Vault Server becomes active, it does not automatically fail back to the original state when the primary vault comes online. This behavior is designed to ensure that the organization can maintain control and stability during the recovery process.

Manual intervention is often necessary to manage the transition back to the primary vault. This gives administrators the opportunity to assess the situation, ensure that the primary vault is fully operational, and determine the best time and method for switching back. Automatic fail back could lead to issues, such as data inconsistencies or outages, especially if changes were made to the data during the time the DR Vault was active.

The ability to manually decide when to fail back is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring a smooth operational flow. Understanding this process is key for effectively utilizing vault servers in disaster recovery scenarios.
