Establishing a Monitoring Schedule
After you begin protecting your data, DPM operations require little intervention from you. When a
situation does require action, you will be informed by an alert. For information about responding
to alerts, s
in DPM Help (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=102159). We
recommend that you establish a monitoring schedule and follow it routinely so that you are aware
of trends and troubleshooting issues, and so that you can respond quickly to any problems that
require your attention. The following table lists suggestions for a monitoring schedule.
