I am not sure, but I think one other way could be to make server B part
of a failover pair with one of the existing failover servers for a
period of time. That way the remaining server will have all the
information transferred from server B. Later that configuration could be
changed to have the other remaining failover server act as the peer,
that way the servers would transfer the data, probably with less risk.

Others should confirm or reject this idea.
