After the virtual machine is protected, you can initiate a failover. The failover shuts down the virtual machine in the secondary region and creates and boots the virtual machine in the primary region, with brief downtime during this process. We recommend you choose an appropriate time for this process and that you run a test failover before initiating a full failover to the primary site.
