Responsibilities

IBM Cloud services provide interfaces and instructions to guide you in copying and storing your service content, including the related configuration, in your selected location.

You are responsible for using exported data and configurations to enable data portability to other infrastructures, including:

• The planning and execution for setting up alternative infrastructure on different cloud providers or on-premises software that provide similar capabilities to the IBM services.
• The planning and execution for the porting of the required application code on the alternative infrastructure, including the adaptation of your application code, deployment automation, and other code.
• The conversion of the exported data and configuration to the format that's required by the alternative infrastructure and adapted applications.

Exporting data

The Global Search and Tagging service provides the mechanisms to export your content that's uploaded, stored, and processed when you use the service.
