When a database is added, the alert includes a link to modify the protection group. After you

complete the Modify Group Wizard, DPM performs a consistency check. Protection of the farm,

including the added database, continues.

When a database is removed, you should stop protection of the server farm using the retain

replica option, and then add the farm to the protection group again.

Adding or Removing Servers in a Windows SharePoint Services
Farm

DPM uses a single front-end Web server to protect the server farm. When you add other front-

end Web servers or remove front-end Web servers other than the server used by DPM, there is

no impact on protection of the farm.

To remove the front-end Web server that DPM is using while continuing protection of the server

farm, see

Changing the Front-End Web Server

Recovering Windows SharePoint Services Data

The following points apply to the recovery of Windows SharePoint Services data:

• Item details will not appear on the Recovery Wizard Summary page for Windows SharePoint

Services sites and items. When you recover a Windows SharePoint Services farm, DPM

recovers the configuration database of the farm but does not list this database in the item

details on the Recovery Wizard Summary page.

• The administration content database is the first content database created with the

administration central site when you set up your farm. Do not directly recover the

administration content database because this could lead to data corruption in the Windows

SharePoint Services farm.

• The recovery point times on the Browse tab may differ from the times on the Search tab for

Windows SharePoint Services data. The Search tab lists the correct recovery point time for

sites, documents, and folders. The Browse tab displays the backup time for the farm.

• Documents in Windows SharePoint Services could be in one of the following states if

document versioning is enabled:

• Created not checked in - Visible only to the creator
• Checked in - Visible to administrator and users with permission to publish
• Published - Visible to users with permission to approve
• Approved - Visible to all viewers

When you recover Windows SharePoint Services data, only documents that are checked in,

published, or approved are recovered. Documents that are not checked in will not be

recovered as part of a site collection or document recovery. Documents that are in either the

user Recycle Bin or the site collection Recycle Bin will not be recovered as part of a site

collection or document recovery.
