To select the data to protect
1. On the Select Group Members page, verify that all computers that store data you want
to protect are displayed in the Available members box.
2. In the Available members box, expand the server nodes to display the available data
sources on each server.
Note
If you have just installed the protection agent, you might experience a delay of up
to several minutes before you can expand the node for the server and display its
available data sources.
3. Place a check mark in the box next to each data source that you want to include in the
protection group. As you select data sources, your selections appear in the Selected
members box.
For each for the data sources you want in the protection group, note the following:
• Data sources that are members of other protection groups and unprotected data
sources that reside on a volume already protected by another protection group are
displayed but cannot be selected.
• For file server data, you cannot include data sources from the same file server
volume in different protection groups.
• If a system volume contains user data that you want to protect, we recommend that
you protect the relevant folders or shares individually rather than protecting the whole
system volume.
• You cannot include SQL Server 2005 database snapshots. Database snapshots
appear as regular databases that you can select; however, DPM does not support
protecting database snapshots for recovery. You can view database snapshots in the
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio in the Database Snapshots folder.
• You cannot protect Windows SharePoint Services databases as a SQL Server data
source. You must include the databases as part of the Windows SharePoint Services
protection.
• To protect clustered resources, expand the resource group name to select a
clustered resource for protection.
• If you have only a single stand-alone tape, use a single protection group to minimize
the effort to change tapes. Multiple protection groups require a separate tape for
each protection group.
• To view a list of excluded folders, click the View link next to Excluded folders. To
exclude a folder, expand the directory structure, and then clear the check box of the
folder you want to exclude.
• To exclude file types, click the Exclude File link, and in the Exclude File Types
dialog box, type the file types you want to exclude, and then click OK.
4. After you have selected the members for the protection group, click Next.
