I'm not sure what you mean by that. Of course you can create the database manualy and add it to the Failsafe group. And of course you can add your existing database to the Failsafe.

Failsafe manager only gives you the oportunity to use a precreated database, but this is mainly ment for testing purposes, as you can't change db block size or character set of this testing database.
