text: Many operating systems and applications provide mechanism to stop I/O operations and 
  ensure that all data is flushed from host cache. If these mechanisms are available, they can 
  be used with snapshot operations. When these mechanisms are not available, it might be 
  necessary to flush the cache manually by quiescing the application and unmounting the file 
  system or logical drives. 
  
  When choosing cloud object storage as a backup solution, be aware that the object storage 
  must be managed as a whole. Backup and restore of individual files, folders, and partitions, 
  are not possible. 
  
  To interact with cloud service providers or a private cloud, the IBM Spectrum Virtualize 
  requires interaction with the correct architecture and specific properties. Conversely, cloud 
  service providers offered attractive prices per object storage in cloud and deliver an 
  easy-to-use interface. Normally, cloud providers offer low-cost prices for object storage space, 
  and charges are applied for the cloud outbound traffic only. 
  
  **11.3.3 Restore using Transparent Cloud Tiering**
  
  Transparent Cloud Tiering can also be used to restore data from any snapshot that is stored 
  in cloud providers. When the cloud accounts’ technical and security requirements are met, 
  the storage objects in the cloud can be used as a data recovery solution. The recovery 
  method is similar to backup, except that the reverse direction is applied. Transparent Cloud 
  Tiering running on IBM Spectrum Virtualize queries for object storage stored in a cloud 
  infrastructure. It enables users to restore the objects into a new volume or set of volumes.
