About asset sources, assets, and storage
In PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, assets are the basic units that PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance protects. Asset sources are the mechanism that PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance uses to manage assets and communicate with the protection storage where backup copies of the assets are stored.
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) as the storage and programmatic interface for controlling a protection storage system.
Supported asset sources
Asset sources can be a vCenter server, Kubernetes cluster, Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance or share, application host, storage array, or Cloud Snapshot Manager tenant. Assets can be virtual machines, Kubernetes namespaces and persistent volume claims (PVCs), NAS appliance or share assets,Microsoft Exchange Server databases, Microsoft SQL Server databases, Oracle databases, SAP HANA databases, file systems, or PowerStore block volumes.
Supported asset languages
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports the protection of data that is hosted on operating systems in multiple languages. For more information, see the E-Lab Navigator.
Prerequisite to adding an asset source
Before you can add an asset source, you must enable the source within the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance user interface.
