FBU (Force Backup)

Use FBU to force a backup condition for maintenance and test purposes. This
command is only accepted by the backup converter (i.e., "BU"). When activated,
this command forces the chain converter offline, and forces the backup
converter to assume the state of the specified chain converter.
