Protection policy limitations

Observe the following information when planning data protection:

PowerProtect Data Manager limitations

  • The ability to edit the retention period for block volume assets is not supported.
  • Compliance mode retention locking is not supported. You can only use governance mode for the storage unit that is created for the block volume protection policy.
  • You cannot reuse the storage unit that is created for a non-block volume policy within a block volume policy.
  • SLA compliance is not supported for block volume protection policies.

PowerStore limitations

NOTE:These limitations originate from PowerStore. Future updates to the PowerStore software may affect limitations on PowerProtect Data Manager functionality.
  • Forcing a full backup is not supported for block volume protection policies. Only synthetic full backups are supported.
  • PowerStore 500T supports a maximum of 8 storage units. All other PowerStore models support a maximum of 12 storage units, regardless of whether the storage units are created on the same protection storage or different protection storage.
  • When all active tier copies are moved to the cloud tier, backups fail.
