Failback to Original Location
You can fail back to an existing VM in original location from the target host of any version: 2008 R2-2022.
Failback to New Location
If you fail back to an entirely new location or to a new VM in the original location, the version of the target host must be equal to or later than the version of the source host:
Source/Target | Target 2008 R2 | Target 2012-2022 (the Target OS version must be higher than Source OS version) |
|---|---|---|
Source 2008 R2 | ✓ | ✓ |
Source 2012-2022 | ✕ | ✓ |

Mind the following exception: you can fail back from the source 2016 host to the target 2012 R2 host only if a VM replica configuration is lower than 8.0. |
