SRM Failback?

I get this question a lot:Does SRM have Failback capabilities? The answer is short but not simple, yes it does. Keep in mind that there’s no big red button labeled “Failback” which is the “not simple” part of the answer. Luckily for us the VMware Uptime Blog Team wrote an extensive article on how to do a failback with the current version of Site Recovery Manager. In short this is what one needs to do to failback:

1. Reverse the replication direction in the storage layer to be from Site B to Site A
2. Clean up the shadow virtual machines and protection groups on Site A
3. Clean up the Recovery Plans configured on Site B
4. Configure the protection group(s) on Site B
5. Configure the Recovery Plans on Site A
6. Test recovery from Site B to Site A
7. Perform the recovery from Site B to Site A

Read the complete article on the Uptime Blog for all the details and show the article to your manager. It includes a table with an the estimated amount of time a failback would normally take manual vs SRM.
