to establish the relationship, only the differential data of Data 2A is copied to the T-VOL.
However, you cannot perform the Restore function:

•
When original relationship was re-established using the Fast Reverse Restore function, and
then the relationship was re-established by the Restore function twice more

the devserv command, see
