IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud will store your backup data to the S3 Standard storage class automatically. You can move the backup data from S3 Standard to S3 Standard-IA, S3 One Zone-IA, or S3 Intelligent-Tiering, and IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Dynamics 365 can restore the backup data of those storage classes.

About this task
