5. The components to install can be chosen. By default all components should be chosen. Dbvisit Standby is bundled with Bitvise WinSSHD and Bitvise Tunnelier software to securely transfer the database updates to the standby server. If an alternative SSH (secure shell) method is already installed, then this can be used.

19. WinSSHD will need to cache the windows password of the current user. Note this is the password of the current user on the current server (not the password of the standby server).
