For Reverse Copy or Quick Restore, the pair must be in PSUS status.

The pairresync normally takes less time when the pair is in PSUS status than when it is in PSUE.
This is because the amount of differential data accumulated for a split pair is usually much
less than the total amount of data in the P-VOL, which must be copied in full when the pair
was suspended by the storage system.

To keep the P-VOL and S-VOL unsynchronized when performing a Quick Restore, enable the
Swap&Freeze option prior to performing the operation. Update copy operations are then
suppressed when the Quick Restore is completed, and the pair is in PAIR status.

If a pair consists of encrypted volumes and a non-encrypted volume, and the Quick Restore
is run, the P-VOL and S-VOL encryption statuses are reversed.

With a Quick Restore, RWC can show outdated information. Click Refresh View to ensure
the most up-to-date information.
