Psh, hell if I know. I've never bothered to click on one of those banner ads. Would you believe that I picked up that particular tidbit because I did the voiceacting on a training course for retailers of a particular computer networking failover product? You can learn a lot by recording corporate training courses. My favorite has been a series of courses for a new home builder, I know all sorts of crap about house construction standards now.

Then what would you call it when the backup isn't as good as the primary? For example, you couldn't drive on your spare tire all the time, it definitely doesn't qualify as a primary, but it gets the job done when you need to travel from the side of the road to a mechanic.
