Wondering if anyone has tried this and has some insights as to if it is even possible.
This is in regards to 9.4 M2.
I am looking at disaster recovery type of situtations at the moment with our SAS cluster, particularly with how quickly we can get back up and running in a total loss situation of the cluster setup.
Question is, can a metadata backup be restored to another machine outside of the original cluster - so for example if we had a standby cluster is it just a matter of moving the files to a location that the server can get to them through the "Recover from Alternate Location"
The other element of that question would be if you haven't done a package export (lets say an OLAP cube and its measures/dimensions) at an individual item level, can you retrieve those from metadata backups without restore process taking place if (metadata backup) it cannot be recovered to another server
