I have a question regarding server back-ups and Vault multi-site (used as a backup server).
For the 2 scenarios, I'm trying to figure out what would work the best and/ or if we are looking at this wrong.
1. Server gets replicated.
Our entire server is being replicated onto another server as a failsafe server with the intent that if Server 1 (main) is down Server 2 (redundant) will kick in and everything should work as normal - no IP reconfiguration is needed, VPN setup is the same, basically, the end user won't know that the server has changed.
2. Vault Replication on Server 2
With our initial understanding of Vault was looking at setting up a Vault Replication on Server 2 to make sure that all files will be transferred as replication. So when Server 1 is down, the users can just "login" into the Vault on Server 2 and carry on working.
The network/ server team then started asking questions in terms of option 2 if it will be needed as Vault and all files are replicated onto Server 2 by default and all connections should be the same.
My knowledge of Vault is quite limited and server/ networks also quite low. So I'm trying to understand if Scenario 1 would work (as I know Autodesk files don't like being moved/ replicated like that - links break etc) and how would Vault as a software deal with this duplication. And secondly, if Scenario 2 is the way to do this, would you change anything?
Here are examples of our current 'architecture' for the 2 examples:
