1. Disable end-user recovery on the DPM server.
2. Run synchronization for each of the volumes in your protection groups.
These steps help ensure that users to whom you deny access to the server cannot access the
replicas of those files on the DPM server.
Protection jobs cannot run successfully during a repair operation. Any jobs scheduled to run while
a repair operation is in progress will not succeed. Any jobs that are in progress when the
uninstallation portion of a repair operation begins are canceled. Upon completion of a repair
operation, DPM automatically attempts to perform any canceled replica creation, synchronization,
or consistency check jobs, but it does not attempt to perform canceled recovery point creation
jobs.
You must perform the following procedures to successfully repair DPM:
1. Back up the DPM database.
2. Uninstall DPM.
3. Delete the DPM database.
4. Reinstall DPM.
