Note the primary suspended state of the B volumes, which implies change recording and
indicates the changed tracks on the B volumes.
When the local site is about to become ready to restart the applications again and resume the
operations, you prepare the remote site for the next step.

Figure 23-16 Failback operation from B to A in preparation for returning to local site
The local site is back and operative again. We assume that the local site did not lose the data
at the time when the swap to the remote site was done. It is then possible to resynchronize
the changed data from B to A before restarting the application at the local site. This is
accomplished doing a Failback operation (Copy Services Failback function) from B to A; see
Figure 23-16.
