Fast Reverse Restore Function

The Fast Reverse Restore function allows you to simplify data recovery in a time of disaster. This
recovery function reverses the original S-VOL and T-VOL relationship established by the Version 2
relationships function. This reversal re-establishes the relationship, with the data flowing in the
opposite direction. However, you cannot perform the Fast Reverse Restore function in the following
cases:

If the relationships to be reversed include a relationship established with multiple volumes

If the S-VOL capacity exceeds the T-VOL capacity in the relationship to be reversed

If the original relationship was re-established using the Fast Reverse Restore function

If the S-VOL or the T-VOL is an external volume.

You can perform the Fast Reverse Restore function on a relationship established in NOCOPY mode
or on a relationship undergoing the copy process. If you perform the Fast Reverse Restore function
while undergoing copy processing, the copy process will end.

After you re-establish a relationship using the Fast Reverse Restore function, the contents of the new
S-VOL are not guaranteed.
