The Data Manager Appliance supports the following agents and application agents:
Starting with Data Manager Appliance version 5.16 and later, during an application agent installation on Linux or UNIX, you can optionally install the agent service as a non-privileged (non-root) user. By default, the agent service is installed as a privileged user. Installation as a non-privileged user limits the ability of the agent service to inappropriately access and control the application-agent host.
The Data Manager Appliance application agent binaries can be downloaded from Data Manager Appliance UI > System Settings > Agent downloads.

The Microsoft application agent enables an application administrator to protect and recover SQL application data on the application host. The Data Manager Appliance integrates with the Microsoft application agent to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
The Oracle RMAN agent enables an application administrator to protect and recover the Oracle data on the application host. The Data Manager Appliance integrates with the Oracle RMAN agent to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
