Replication fails shortly after start with an "Incompatible device" message (4047012)

Replication fails after a few seconds.

Symptoms: Error message: "An internal error occurred during execution, please contact Vizioncore support if the error persists. Error Message: API Call failed with message: Incompatible device backing specified for device '8'". (It is possible that the device number may vary)

Check to see if the virtual CD drive or the virtual floppy drive are connected to an ISO or .flp file. Remove the association before replicating.

Restore fails with the same error. Open VmConfig.metadata and check entries for CDROM and Floppy. Edit correspondingly and configure Restore from Manifest job.
