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 is not visible to non-admin users.

Important

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