Configuring a Backup Broker
A backup broker enables data replication between the active broker and its standby so that
the standby is always ready to assume the active role standing alone if its peer becomes
unavailable.
In the example, the broker is running in container ct1. While it is running, you can create,
deploy, and provision a backup broker in container ct2, and define the replication
connection between the peers. Then, an orderly restart of primary broker’s container gets
replication underway.

a. Right-click on the Containers folder, and then choose New > Configuration.
Choose Shortcut to Container. In the dialog box, enter the name ct2. Click OK.
b. To avoid port conflicts in this all-on-one-system example, you need to assign the
backup broker a different port. Expand the br1 (Backup) configuration, and the
click on Acceptors. In the right panel, double-click on TCP_ACCEPTOR. Change the
port to 2526. Click OK.
4. In the Containers folder, right-click on ct2, and then choose Add component. Enter
any name, such as br1 Backup. Locate br1 (Backup), and then click OK.
