CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

Automatic failover is when systems or services switch to a redundant or standby system automatically, typically without human intervention, in the event of a failure or service interruption. This type of failover is essential for mission-critical applications where downtime must be minimized. Manual failover, while it involves intentional human intervention to switch systems, would not apply as the question indicates the switch happens without manual intervention. Active-active and active-passive describe configurations of how systems are set up for redundancy, but they do not define the type of failover process.
