Server Failover
In the event a user needs to switch from their main BT Server, to a backup BT Server, the following
procedure should be followed.
Note: Users should keep a backup of their related show files in the event they need to switch servers
during operation. Users can easily do this using BTBackup on their servers, or by manually copying the
files to a USB stick.
Only 1 instance of Motive, as well as BTEngine should be present on the network at any given time.1.
Therefore, the backup server should not have these modules open, or be disconnected from all
networks until needed.
The BlackTrax GUI, and BTWYG can be opened, with their files loaded on both servers at the

In the event of needing to switch servers, ensure the main BTServer has been disconnected from2.
it's associated networks.
On the Backup server, Launch Motive, with the correct file.3.
In the BTGUI launch BTEngine and Apply Changes.4.
From this point the show should be running as expected from the Backup Machine. Optionally, users
could have all modules and files running on the Backup Machine, with it completely disconnected from all
networks until the time of failover.
