Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.12.0.1 Administrator Guide for DM5500
About the Microsoft application agent for SQL
The Microsoft application agent enables an application administrator to protect and recover the SQL application data on the application host. PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance integrates with the Microsoft application agent to check and monitor back up compliance against protection policies. PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance also enables central scheduling for backups.
You can install the Microsoft application agent on a Windows SQL Server host by using the install wizard.
NOTE PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports the coexistence of the Microsoft application agent and the File System agent on Windows.
To enable the discovery and scheduling of backups with PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, you must approve the client in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI.
In the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI, when you select and click View Copies, the size of a Microsoft SQL database that is backed up through application-aware protection is displayed as 0 bytes. The correct size is displayed at the SQL database asset level. For a transaction log backup, the correct size is displayed at the Protection Copy Set (PCS) level.
Software compatibility information for the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance software and application agents is provided in the E-Lab Navigator.
