Can ProtectPoint and DD Boost for Enterprise Applications be used at the same time?

the answer is yes in all respects and indeed you don't pay twice

1) the app agent used by ddbea and pp is the same app agent and its just configuration as to what is backed up how and in some cases there is even some smartness as well.  so you can easily do boost, pp, hybrid, flip back and forth, in various ways

2) we also support the app agent and file system agent co installed on the same host to support a number of use cases as well

I recently had a customer ask the following question at a Dell EMC Forum:

"I am a big Oracle shop and want to use DD Boost for Enterprise Apps to empower my DBAs to run their own backups.  However, I also want maintain visibility into all of the backups that have been created.  Is there way to do this with Dell EMC's backup products?  How about with third party backup applications?"

Thank you!

This Ask the Expert event has officially ended, but don't let that retract you from asking more questions. At this point our SMEs, after addressing all questions previously posted, are still welcomed to answer and continue the discussion though not required. Here is where we ask our community members to chime in and assist other users if they're able to come up with accurate information. Additionally, you're welcome to post other questions unrelated to the topic of this ATE on the Data Domain community.

Many thanks to our SMEs who selflessly made themselves available to answer questions. We also appreciate our community members for taking part of the discussion and ask so many interesting questions.

ATE events are made for your benefit as members of DECN. If you’re interested in pitching a topic or Subject Matter Experts we would be interested in hearing it. To learn more on what it takes to start an event please visit our Ask the Expert Program Space on DECN.
