Selecting Members for the Protection Group

You use the Select Group Members page to select the data sources you want to protect.

The computers that contain the members that DPM will protect must meet the protected computer

requirements. For information about the protected computer software prerequisites,

see

Protected Computer Prerequisites

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91851).

DPM does not support protection of some types of files and displays a warning of unsupported

data in these cases. For more information about how to list the file types that DPM does not

support, see "How to display warnings for unsupported data" in DPM 2007 Help.

DPM does not protect reparse points found in file systems or in application paths. If you select

volumes, folders or applications in this protection group, DPM will protect all data except the

reparse points. For more information about data types that are not protected, in "Planning a

DPM 2007 Deployment", see

Planning Protection Groups

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91849).
