Failback can be complete (restoring all Protected Domains together) or partial (restoring only selected Protected Domains). Follow the steps below to import Domains for failback:

Note: Failback operations are performed at the Protected Domain level which means all VMs of a Domain are failed back together as a unit.

    1. Go to the primary site.
    2. On the Storage Sites screen, select the object store from the storage site (added previously).
      • Click the Scan Domains button.
