Managing alternate locations

You can configure the backup locations that have been defined for other Cloud Pak System Software for Power® as additional alternate locations, from which you can restore component level data. You can edit and remove these locations from the Restore table as needed.

You might need to restore component level data from an alternate location, one for which a backup location has not been configured. You might want to set up your backup and restore environment such that backup data from one Cloud Pak System Software for Power could be restored to another system. You might have a situation in which the system is unable to back up to a certain location, but it can restore data from that location. In each of these scenarios, you can define an alternate remote location from which you can restore data to your system.
