PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide

Storage unit limitations

When using storage units with multiple protection policies, the following limitations apply:

  • PowerProtect Data Manager cannot target or configure storage units that were not created through PowerProtect Data Manager.
  • PowerProtect Data Manager cannot target storage units that were configured elsewhere for Cloud Tiering.
  • Moving a protection policy to another storage unit or protection storage system may require a full backup.
    • For virtual machines, file system backups, Kubernetes, and Microsoft Exchange Server backups, the next backup is automatically promoted to a full backup.
    • For Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and SAP HANA backups, complete a manual full backup of these assets with the new storage unit.
  • Protection policies for Storage Data Management cannot share a storage unit with other protection policies.
  • Retention lock on a storage unit is disabled if any protection policy on that storage unit has retention lock disabled.
  • Previous releases of the Oracle agent do not support sharing a storage unit between protection policies. The PowerProtect Data Manager Oracle RMAN User Guide provides more information.
