A customer needs to have a PowerProtect Storage Direct available to perform a Virtual Machine Recovery from a save set located on a Dell EMC Cloud Tier. PowerProtect Storage Direct is a feature that allows the user to mount a cloud-based object store, like Amazon S3, Azure Blob, or Dell EMC Cloud Tier, as a local mount point. This mount point can be used to perform a recovery, like a Virtual Machine recovery, from a save set that is located on a cloud-based object store.

AFTD, PowerProtect DD, and CloudBoost are different device types, AFTD is a feature that allows the user to create a backup copy of a save set to a different location, PowerProtect DD is a deduplication storage appliance and CloudBoost is a feature that allows the user to perform backups and recoveries to and from a cloud-based object store.

It's worth mentioning that for more information about PowerProtect Storage Direct and the supported cloud-based object stores, you can check the official Dell EMC documentation: PowerProtect Data Manager Cloud Tier (https://www.dellemc.com/en-us/storage/powerprotect-data-manager/features/cloud-tier.htm )
