If the promoted host is an automatic backup host, it performs the three unique primary host automatic backup functions before it performs backups of managed volumes. If the promotion occurred while the original primary host was performing one of the three unique autobackup functions, then whether this host takes over from where the original primary host left off depends on its own automatic backup window. If this host’s window overlaps the original primary host’s window and this host has also begun performing automatic backup, then it will not pick up from the point where the original primary host left off, but it will continue performing backups of managed volumes. The unique level functions that were not completed by the original primary host will not be completed until the next automatic backup window. If this host’s automatic backup window is such that it was not performing automatic backup when it was promoted, then it will take over from where the original primary host left off.
