PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Deployment Guide
File System agent interoperability and supported operating systems
The File System agent allows an application administrator to protect and recover data on the File System host. PowerProtect Data Manager integrates with the File System agent to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies. PowerProtect Data Manager also allows central scheduling for backups.
PowerProtect Data Manager supports the following application agent and File System agent co-existence:
- Coexistence of the Oracle RMAN agent or SAP HANA agent with the File System agent on Linux.
- Coexistence of the Oracle RMAN agent with the File System agent on AIX.
- Coexistence of the Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Exchange Server application agent with the File System agent on Windows.
You can install the File System agent on the host that you plan to protect by using the installation instructions provided in the PowerProtect Data Manager File System User Guide.
NOTE The most up-to-date software compatibility information for the
PowerProtect Data Manager software and the
File System agent is provided by the
E-Lab Navigator.
