Preparing a stand-alone copy from full volume dump

The Prepare Stand-Alone Copy action is a part of the stand-alone restore process. The action is available only to BMC AMI Cloud administrators and will not be visible to non-admin users. If the original full dump was created using DFDSS_GZIP, it will not be possible to create a stand-alone copy of it.

Important

If you created the original full dump using DFDSS_GZIP, you cannot create a stand-alone copy of it.
