Introduction

Backup SQL servers are those SQL servers in a cluster that serve as backups to a primary SQL server during its downtime. Just like the primary SQL server, it is also necessary to monitor the Backup SQL server, because if both the primary and the backup server are unavailable for use at the same time, then this would bring down the cluster as well as the business service dependent on it. To avoid such eventualities, the issues occurring on the Backup SQ server should be detected at the earliest. This can be easily done using eG Enterprise. A specialized monitoring model offered by eG helps administrators to continuously monitor the Backup SQL server.
