Application agent
|
Application agents are installed on application or database host servers to manage protection using
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance. These agents are commonly known as
Protection Storage Boost Enterprise Agents (DDBEAs) for databases and applications.
|
App-Direct
|
A
service protection policy that includes additional App-Direct data protection for Microsoft SQL Servers. An App-Direct
service protection policy provides the ability to quiesce the application during
service image backup to perform a full backup of Microsoft SQL Server databases. You can also schedule Microsoft SQL Server log backups for the virtual machines in the policy.
|
Asset
|
Assets are objects in
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance for which you want to manage protection, including virtual machines, databases, and file systems.
|
Asset source
|
Assets that
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance protects reside within asset sources, which include vCenter servers, application or database hosts, and file servers.
|
Cloud Tier storage
|
Cloud Tier storage can be added to a
protection storage system to expand the deduplication storage capacity onto less expensive object storage in public or private object storage clouds, including
secure Elastic Cloud Storage appliances.
|
Copy
|
A
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance copy is a point-in-time backup copy of an asset.
|
Copy Map
|
The
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Copy Map is a visual representation of backup copy locations on your protection storage and is available for all protected assets that have copies.
|
Discovery
|
Discovery is an internal process that scans asset sources to find new assets to protect and scans infrastructure components to monitor their health and status.
|
Instant Access
|
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance virtual machine backup copies can be accessed, mounted, and booted directly from the
Protection Storage targets as running virtual machines. This operation is called Instant Access. Copies can also be moved to a production VMware datastore using vMotion.
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Virtual machine application-aware backup copies can be mounted directly from
Protection Storage as running Microsoft SQL Server databases, which includes the ability to roll forward log backups. These Microsoft SQL Server database disks can also be moved to a production VMware datastore using vMotion.
|
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance agent
|
An agent that is included in
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance and installed on each application agent host server so that you can monitor and manage the application agent through
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance.
|
Protection policy
|
Protection policies configure and manage the entire life cycle of backup data, which includes backup types, assets, backup start and stop times, backup devices, and backup retention.
|
Service-level agreement (SLA)
|
An optional policy that you can layer on top of a protection policy. An SLA performs additional checks on protection activities to ensure that protection goals meet the standards of an organization. SLAs are made up of one or more service-level objectives.
|
Service-level objective (SLO)
|
A definable rule that sets the criteria for recovery-point objectives (RPOs), encryption, and the location of backups according to company requirements.
