steps:
a. On the Agents tab in the Management task area, select a primary DPM server.
b. In the Details pane, next to Protected servers enabled for protection,
click Modify.
c. In the View details of protected computers dialog box, select one or more
computers, and then click Enable protection.
d. Type the user name and password for a domain account that is a member of the
local administrators group on all selected computers, and then click OK.
The Protection enabled column in the View details of protected computers dialog
box will change to Yes.
3. You can use an existing protection group or create a new protection group for the primary
DPM servers. On the Select Group Members page, the following data sources will be
listed for each DPM server on which a protection agent is installed:
• The databases in the instance of SQL Server on the primary DPM server
• All volumes on the primary DPM server
• All replicas on the primary DPM server, listed in the Protected computers item
Each of these data sources can be selected as a protection group member. At a
minimum, you should select the databases, the \Program Files\Microsoft
DPM\DPM\Config folder, and the \Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Scripting folder.
Note
You cannot exclude file name extensions from protection for a replica.
4. On the Select Data Protection Method page, you can select short-term disk-based
protection, long-term tape-based protection, or both. Short-term tape-based protection is
unavailable when a primary DPM server is a member of a protection group.
5. Complete the Create New Protection Group Wizard with the desired protection options.
Note
If a replica is selected as a member of the protection group and you select short-
term disk-based protection, you must specify a synchronization frequency; the
option to synchronize just before a recovery point will be unavailable. We
recommend that you synchronize every 24 hours.
