PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Microsoft SQL Server User Guide

Backing up multiple databases in an Always On availability group

To back up only certain databases in an Always On availability group, use "<save_set_name1>" "<save_set_name2>" "<save_set_name3>"... to specify the database names as the backup objects.

Type the backup command with the following syntax:

NOTE:

For self-service backups, the retention time displayed in the SSMS plug-in does not match the retention time displayed in PowerProtect Data Manager. The retention time in PowerProtect Data Manager is normalized and rounded off to midnight.

A retention setting in PowerProtect Data Manager overrides a retention setting specified by the -y option.
