PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance existing deployment overview

Familiarize yourself with the high-level steps required to deploy PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance with the application agent to an existing environment.

1. Update the application agent or uninstall and then reinstall the application agent on the hosts and connect them to PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance according to the instructions in the next chapter.

   DBAs should perform this action.

   NOTE:After you create a centralized protection job, the first backup is a full backup.
2. Add new or approve pending agent requests in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance according to the instructions in the next chapter.
3. Add a protection policy for groups of assets that you want to back up.
   The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Administrator Guide provides instructions.
   Configuration is complete.
4. Perform a full backup so that PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance can detect the proper backup chain.
   Without a full backup, PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance treats the backups as partial and assumes that you are out of compliance. DBAs create backups and PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance creates a catalog of the backups, monitoring the catalog for retention policy compliance, and, if configured, managing the life cycle of the backups.
