How can Azure Site Recovery be used to fail back to a physical server?

@婷 陈 Greetings!

When you failover from a local physical server to Azure, Azure Site Recovery typically supports failing back to a local VMware virtual machine (VM) rather than directly to a physical server. his limitation exists because Azure Site Recovery is designed to support failback to virtualized environments, which provide more flexibility and easier management compared to physical servers.

If you want to fail back to a local physical server, you need to follow these steps:

First, perform the failback to a local VMware VM using Azure Site Recovery. This involves setting up a VMware environment if you don't already have one.

Once the failback to the VMware VM is complete, you can then migrate the data and applications from the VMware VM to the local physical server. This can be done using various migration tools and methods, such as disk cloning, backup and restore, or other data migration techniques.
