The data from Teradata systems is sent through media servers for backup by backup solutions. These relationships are defined in target groups, which you can create and copy.
When DSC is deployed in the Public Cloud, a default disk file system target group is created (defaultDFTGsystem_name ). This target group scales out/in with the database.
