Deployment Type	Memory
Default	20 GB
With the Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR) Add-On	24 GB

Consider the following:

Depending on the environment, increasing the amount of memory can increase performance.
If low-memory alerts are seen, increase the amount of memory.
Do not increase the amount of memory beyond 32 GB of RAM. PowerProtect Data Manager is not designed to support more than 32 GB of RAM.
If you are deploying PowerProtect Data Manager to a virtual machine in a cloud Marketplace environment, it is automatically assigned 32 GB of RAM. This amount of memory should not be changed after it is deployed.
