PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Microsoft Application Agent and Oracle RMAN Agent Quick Start Guide

PowerProtect Data Manager overview

Use PowerProtect Data Manager with the application agent to perform the following operations:

• Automate the configuration of the application agent backup policy and protection storage settings.
• Create a catalog of backups that the application agent creates. Then monitor that catalog data to determine if retention policies are being adhered to.
• Manage the life cycle of backups that the application agent creates. Ensure that the backups are marked for garbage collection, based on the rules of the retention policy.

PowerProtect Data Manager does not change the way that the application agent works. DBAs, system administrators, or backup administrators create the backups and perform the restore operations.
