# Undoing Failover

The **Undo Failover** action powers off VM replicas running on target hosts and rolls back to the VM state before failover. For more information on the undo failover operation, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section [Undo Failover](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/cdp_failover_undo.html?ver=13).

To perform an undo operation for a plan in the *FAILOVER* 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 failover 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 failover 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 failover process again, use the **Undo** option.
