PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Microsoft Application Agent SQL Server User Guide

Ensure that a SQL Server environment meets the following prerequisites before you install the Microsoft application agent:

• Install the following applications on the Windows host:
  • Microsoft SQL Server

  • .NET Framework 4.0

    If you are installing ItemPoint for table-level recovery, install .NET Framework 4.5.

• In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Agent Downloads from the System Settings menu and select the Microsoft application agent download package, msappagent199_win_x64.zip. Then download the package to the Windows SQL Server host.
• Log in to the SQL Server host as an administrator to install the Microsoft application agent.
• To deploy the Common Language Runtime (CLR) assembly, ensure that you have administrator access to the SQL Server host and the SQL master database. If the SQL Server host is running in a domain, ensure that you have access as a Domain administrator.
• Ensure that the required permissions are set up for the discovery of SQL instances and databases by the PowerProtect agent service. Required privileges for Application Direct backup and recovery provide more information.
