Performing Failback

After you repair or replace the failed original source core and agents, you need to move the data from your failed-over
machines to restore the source machines.
To perform failback:
1. Navigate to the AppAssure 5 Core Console on the target core, and click the Replication tab.
2. Under Incoming Replication, select the failover agent and expand the details.
3. On the Actions menu, click Failback.
The Failback Warnings dialog box opens to describe the steps you need to follow before you click the Start
Failback button.
4. Click Cancel.
5. If the failed-over machine is running Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Exchange Server, stop those services.
6. In the Core Console for the target core, click the Tools tab.
7. Create an archive of the failed-over agent and output it to disk or a network share location.
