PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Oracle RMAN Agent User Guide

Only the Administrator role can manage the asset sources.

PowerProtect Data Manager removes the specified asset source in the Asset Sources window.

Any associated assets that are protected by the protection policy are removed from the protection policy and their status is changed to deleted. These assets can be deleted automatically or manually. The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides details on how to remove assets from PowerProtect Data Manager.

The copies of assets from the asset source are retained (not deleted). You can delete the copies from the copies page, if required.

For an asset that was previously protected by PowerProtect Data Manager, regular compliance deletion runs until all the backup pieces are expired.

Existing backup copies that were generated before the client was added to PowerProtect Data Manager are not deleted from the PowerProtect DD storage unit. To delete the backup pieces, you must run a regular stand-alone ddutil command:

ddutil -k -b <begin_time> -e <end_time> -R -z <DD_host>:/<storage_unit>

For backup copies that PowerProtect Data Manager generates, PowerProtect Data Manager performs deletion of the copies based on the specified retention.

In the both cases, the backup administrator must perform the catalog cleanup by using the RMAN maintenance commands, such as the crosscheck and delete expired commands.
