Each protected database that stores backups to a Recovery Appliance must have a globally unique database name (DB_UNIQUE_NAME). This global database name is used to identify the protected database to which a backup belongs. Backups for a protected database are written to the storage location that is specified in the protection policy associated with the protected database.
