Support for existing Microsoft application agent backups with
PowerProtect Data Manager
The Microsoft application agent provides the capability to onboard existing stand-alone deployments, including their existing backups, to
PowerProtect Data Manager. Existing backups are Microsoft application agent backups that you performed before integrating the Microsoft application agent with the
PowerProtect Data Manager software and before adding an asset to a
PowerProtect Data Manager protection policy.
NOTE
Onboarding of
Microsoft Exchange Server backup copies to
PowerProtect Data Manager is supported only from backups performed with Microsoft application agent 4.7 and later.
You can onboard up to three previous months of existing backups.
Retention lock is not supported for discovered existing backups in
PowerProtect Data Manager.
Onboarding of DD Boost-over-FC backups is not supported.
With the onboarding capability,
PowerProtect Data Manager provides the following centralized features:
Visibility of both existing backups and any new self-service or
PowerProtect Data Manager policy-driven backups of onboarded assets.
Automatic configuration of target protection storage based on the
PowerProtect Data Manager protection policies that are used for your database.
All the other functionality that is provided for
PowerProtect Data Manager protection policies.
When you create a protection policy, the
PowerProtect Data Manager software can either create or reuse a storage unit on the specified DD system backup host, subject to limitations. All subsequent backups of assets in that protection policy go to this storage unit. This implementation uses scripts to override the storage unit information that is provided in any running backup with the storage unit information from
PowerProtect Data Manager.
