4. Click Apply.
The snapshot is sent to the source system.

The partition and its cartridges are recovered on the source system. All data stored on
the partition at the time the snapshot was saved is available.
After recovering the partition, you must add tape drives and a robot to the partition, and
you must map the devices before the VTL partition is accessible. If the partition contains
media, you will only be able to select the highest capacity tape drive for that media type.
For example, if the partition contains SDLT600 tape cartridges, you will only be able to
select DLT-S4 tape drives when mapping devices to the recovered partition.
When a VTL partition is recovered on a target system, a new serial number is
created for the partition.
If you previously remapped your backup application to a recovered partition on the
target system, after you failback the partition, you must remap your backup
application again to point to the source system.
