Recovering SQL Server Data
Performing General Maintenance on Servers
Running SQL
General maintenance includes tasks such as disk and file maintenance, updating operating
systems and applications, and protecting data by using antivirus software and performing regular
backups. Some special considerations apply when you are performing server maintenance on
SQL Servers that are protected by Data Protection Manager (DPM).
When you need to perform maintenance on a protected server and do not want protection jobs to
continue for the duration of the maintenance, you can use the following procedure to disable the
protection agent.
Note
If you disable a protection agent for a server that is a cluster node, you should disable the
protection agent for every node of the cluster.
To disable a protection agent
1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Management on the navigation bar.
2. On the Agents tab, in the display pane, select the name of the computer with the
protection agent you want to disable.
3. In the Actions pane, click Disable protection agent.
4. In the dialog box, click OK to confirm that you want to proceed.
