Recovering a data sharing group in case of a disaster

To develop a procedure for recovering a data sharing group by using a remote site, you can use the disaster recovery procedure as a base. In most cases, you must complete those steps for each member of the data sharing group.

As an alternative, you can set up the remote data sharing group as a tracker site. The advantage of a tracker site is that it dramatically reduces the amount of time that is needed for takeover if a disaster occurs at the primary site. The disadvantage is that the tracker site must be dedicated to shadowing the primary site. You cannot use the tracker site to perform transactions of its own.
