Data Manager offers centralized oversight of all protected file system copies. This makes it simple to track and enforce service level objective (SLO) compliance for backup and recovery, RPOs, and Storage retention lock. Data Manager discovers copies sent to protection storage, then catalogs and makes protection copies available for compliance measurement to ensure protection compliance and quality of service.
The File System Agent allows an application administrator to protect and recover data on the file system host. Data Manager integrates with the File System Agent to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies. Data Manager File System Agent has been designed to support the file system backup, restore, and replication workflows. This white paper describes how effectively you can protect file systems using Data Manager with Dell PowerProtect DD series appliances as target storage.
