Customer-managed account failover enables you to fail your entire storage account over to the secondary region if the primary becomes unavailable for any reason. When you force a failover to the secondary region, clients can begin writing data to the secondary endpoint after the failover is complete. The failover typically takes about an hour.

Customer-managed account failover enables you to fail your entire storage account over to the secondary region if the primary becomes unavailable for any reason. When you force a failover to the secondary region, clients can begin writing data to the secondary endpoint after the failover is complete. The failover typically takes about an hour. We recommend suspending your workload as much as possible before initiating an account failover.

Write access is restored for geo-redundant accounts once the DNS entry has been updated and requests are being directed to the new primary endpoint. Existing storage service endpoints remain the same after the failover.

Write access is restored for geo-redundant accounts once the DNS entry has been updated and requests are being directed to the new primary endpoint. Existing storage service endpoints remain the same after the failover. File handles and leases aren't retained on failover, so clients must unmount and remount the file shares.

> After the failover is complete, the storage account is configured to be locally redundant in the new primary endpoint/region (we say this later too). To resume replication to the new secondary, configure the account for geo-redundancy again.
