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.
Asset sources can be a vCenter server, Kubernetes cluster, application host, or Cloud Snapshot Manager tenant. Assets can be virtual machines, Microsoft Exchange Server databases, Microsoft SQL Server databases, Oracle databases, SAP HANA databases, file systems, or Kubernetes namespaces.
Before you can add an asset source, you must enable the source within the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance user interface.
In the Assets window, you can export asset records by using the Export All functionality.
CAUTION:
Maximum number of characters that are allowed for an asset or a storage group name is 25. If it exceeds, the protection policy configuration fails.
Supported asset languages
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance fully supports the protection of data hosted on English operating systems.
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports the protection of data hosted on Simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Japanese operating systems with the following considerations:
- Application agents must be installed to the default location.
- File, folder, and database names can use characters in any language.
- Hostnames, fully qualified domain names, and cluster names can only use ASCII characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and hyphen).
- The operating systems of the backup source and restore destination must use the same locale.
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance and its user interface support only English text in the following functions:
- APIs
- character string input and output
- configuration settings
- exported logs
- headings and fields
- informational and error messages
- local time and date formats
- sorting, searching, and filtering
