At this step of the wizard, specify database switchover options.

To select a switchover option and start the instant recovery session, do the following:

  • Auto: switchover is performed automatically after all database files are copied and synchronized.
  • Manual: switchover is started manually by user at any time after all database files are copied and synchronized.
  • Scheduled: switchover is performed at a specified date and time. Use the drop-down calendar to specify the date and time.
