PowerProtect Data Manager removes the specified asset source in the Asset Sources window.
For all asset sources except the vCenter Server, 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.
