Install

Managed File Transfer

Gateway onto the high availability machine using the regular installation method.

Test the

Managed File Transfer

Gateway installation on the high availability machine to make sure it works properly.

Shut down the

Managed File Transfer

Gateway service on the high availability machine, since

Managed File Transfer

Gateway should not be running on both the production and high availability machines at the same time.

Set up your high availability tool to replicate the directory named

userdata

, which is located under the

Managed File Transfer

Gateway installation directory on the production machine.   The

userdata

directory contains all user data and configurations for

Managed File Transfer

Gateway. Make sure to include all the subdirectories under the

userdata

directory, except do not replicate the subdirectory named

/userdata/database/services/

since there is a lock on that subdirectory while

Managed File Transfer

Gateway is running.  This subdirectory contains the embedded database, which is saved nightly by default to the subdirectory named

userdata/database/backups

.
