English Language & Usage Asked by LiMar on May 22, 2021
Our software "knows" to migrate itself to spare hardware in case the main hardware is damaged. The process of such a migration is called failover.
When the main hardware is repaired the software can migrate itself back to it.
How would you call such a process?
We thought about "fail-back" (to stress it’s a reverse of fail-over) and "fallback".
Thank you!
The strict opposite of “failover” is “failback”. Both can be hyphenated or not; just be consistent about it.
Note that failback means that B will switch back to A automatically when A is available again. If B remains active until it fails, then your system doesn’t have failback; it has double failover.
