Log shipping can be used to maintain a "warm" standby server, called a secondary server, whose copy of the database is automatically updated from log backups at regular intervals. Before failover to a warm standby server, its copy of the database must be brought fully up to date manually.

Failover to the database on a mirror server is essentially instantaneous."); hot standby (A standby server that can support rapid failover without a loss of data from committed transactions); hot standby server (A standby server that can support rapid failover without a loss of data from committed transactions) |
