# Step 6: Reprotect the VMs from On-Premises to HI GIO Cloud
## **Overview**
After migrating over the workload to On-Premises, we can reverse the replication and reprotect it back to the HI GIO Cloud site.
Once reprotect is successful, this will show as outgoing replication from On-Premises to the Cloud.
## **Procedure**
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Step 1:** Log on to the HI GIO portal.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 2:** Expand More > Click on **Availability** ()
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 3:** Click on Outgoing Replications >Check the checkbox for vAPP1 > Expand ALL ACTIONS
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 4:** Click on **Reverse**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 5:** Click on REVERSE
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### **Step 6:** Expectation result:
1. The reverse from On-Premises to HI GIO Cloud Is **In Progress**
2. Reverse from On-Premises to Cloud **Completed Successfully**. Outgoing Replications is empty now.
3. Since the replication is **configured** from On-Premises to Cloud, we will view Incoming Replications.
Select **Incoming Replications**. Here, you will notice VM APP1-xxxx is replicated back from On-Premises to Cloud, and the Replication type is On-Premise Protection.
4. Verify replication status from the On-Premises site
Expand **Menu** > Click on **Cloud Provider DR and Migration.**
Click on **Outgoing Replications.**
Confirm VM APP1-xxxx & DB1-xxxx is replicated back from On-Premises to Cloud and Replication type is Protection.
