A remotely located secondary volume normally receives data from the front-end volume. The secondary volume is the volume to which data of the source volume is backed up. The front-end volume serves as buffer for data transferred from the source volume to the secondary volume. A third volume that is used to preserve or restore the data in the secondary volume during a test.
