incoming replications.
What to do next
You can recover the replication to migrate your virtual machine from cloud to your local environment.
Note You can pause, resume, sync, test, recover, and stop replications from cloud, but you cannot
reconfigure or move these replications between vSphere Replication servers.
If the reverse replication cannot be configured, try configuring a new replication from cloud. See
