We analyze a series of the X-ray echo outbursts in KS 1731-260. In our interpretation, after the end of the main outburst, the still continuing mass transfer rate gave rise to a series of outside-in echo outbursts. We argue that the long-term activity of KS 1731-260 provides a link between persistent and transient systems.
