PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Network Attached Storage User Guide

About NAS protection

Protection policies for NAS assets are either centralized or exclusion. PowerProtect Data Manager centrally manages all stages of the protection policy and controls policy operation.

If a NAS offers the same asset through multiple protocols, PowerProtect Data Manager provides an opportunity to select a preferred protocol for data protection.

When you add a share with ACLs and that share is offered through multiple protocols, selecting CIFS is recommended, to back up the corresponding ACLs.

PowerProtect Data Manager supports protecting NAS shares with hard links created on the same file system, so long as the hard links are for files and not directories, and do not span file systems. Soft links are not supported.
