of the management group

individual storage systems in that management group or the data. To back up storage system
configurations, see

Backing up a management group with remote copy relationships

If you back up a management group that is participating in Remote Copy, it is important to back up
the associated Remote Copy management groups at the same time. If you back them up at different
times, and then try to restore one of the groups, the backup files will not match. This mismatch will
cause problems with the restore.
