Chapter 3. Testing and Performing a Failover and Failback

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create Protection Groups and Recovery Plans. As discussed, Recovery Plans are nothing but a previously created workflow for the recovery of a failed site. In this chapter, we will learn how to test Recovery Plans that are already created, how to use them to perform a Failover, panned migration, reprotect, and Failback.

The following is a list of topics that will be covered in this chapter:

  • Testing a Recovery Plan

  • Performing a Planned Migration

  • Performing a disaster recovery (Failover)

  • Reprotecting a site

  • Failback to the protected site
