# Undoing Failback

The **Undo Failback** action powers on VM replicas running on target hosts and switches from the production VMs back to the VM replicas — as a result, the plan acquires the *FAILOVER* state. For more information on the undo failback operation, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section [Undo Failback](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/cdp_failback_undo.html?ver=13).

To perform an undo operation for a plan in the *PREPARE FOR FAILBACK* or *FAILBACK* state:

1. Navigate to **Recovery Plans**.
2. Select the plan and click **Undo**.
3. In the **Undo** window, do the following:

   1. For security purposes, retype your password and click **Next**.
   2. Review configuration information and click **Undo**.

If the undo failback process encounters an error while being performed, it will not be halted automatically — the plan will proceed until the process completes. To terminate the undo failback process manually, use the **Halt** option to stop the currently running plan as described in section [Halting Failover](halting_failover_cdp.md). To resume the undo failback process again, use the **Undo** option.
