 Standby Databases 

For a high availability of your database, MaxDB supports the setup of  standby databases.

A standby instance is a copy of the active database instance (original instance). To keep the contents of your database up-to-date, the log backups of the original instance are imported at regular intervals. The standby instance always has the  operational state ADMIN.

If you experience problems with the original instance, you can start operating the standby instance immediately, and carry on working without any lengthy period of downtime.

Depending on the configuration, you can also restore the standby instance to a previous status that it has had at any given point in the past.
