# Step 4: Reverse replication of the VM from HI GIO Cloud to On-Premises
## **Overview**
After the on-premises site has **recovered from the issue** and is **available**, we can migrate the workload (APP1, DB1) from the HI GIO cloud back to on-premises by reversing the replication.
## **Procedure**

**Step 5:** Expectation result:
1. Reverse Replication is in progress. You can monitor the progress of the Reverse task in the Last changed section and replicate the state.
