PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Storage Direct User Guide
About asset sources, assets, and storage
In PowerProtect Data Manager, assets are the basic units that PowerProtect Data Manager protects. Asset sources are the mechanism that PowerProtect Data Manager uses to manage assets and communicate with the protection storage where backup copies of the assets are stored.
PowerProtect Data Manager supports Dell EMC PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) as the storage and programmatic interface for controlling protection storage systems.
Asset sources can be a vCenter server, Kubernetes cluster, application host, SMIS server, or Cloud Snapshot Manager tenant. Assets can be virtual machines, Microsoft Exchange Server databases, Microsoft SQL Server databases, Oracle databases, SAP HANA databases, file systems, Kubernetes namespaces, or storage groups.
Before you can add an asset source, you must enable the source within the PowerProtect Data Manager user interface.
