Protection for computers running Windows SharePoint Services
• Before you can protect Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) data, you must do the following:
• Install Knowledge Base article 941422, "
Update for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 "
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=100392).
• Start the WSS Writer service on the WSS Server and then provide the protection agent
with credentials for the WSS farm.
• Update the instance of SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2005 SP2.
Repairing DPM 2007
• In most cases, you do not need to uninstall the DPM prerequisite software to reinstall DPM.
However, if the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 binaries become corrupted, you might need to
uninstall and reinstall SQL Server 2005 as well.
• You do not need to uninstall the protection agents from the protected computers to reinstall
DPM.
• Before starting a reinstallation of DPM 2007, we strongly recommend that you archive the
DPM database, Report database, and replicas to tape or other removable storage medium.
For instructions, in the DPM Operations Guide, see Disaster Recovery
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91860).
Uninstalling DPM 2007
• If you plan to retain your existing data protection configuration after uninstalling DPM, disable
end-user recovery on the DPM server and run synchronization jobs for each data source in
your protection groups before you start the uninstallation. These steps help ensure that users
to whom you deny access to files on the server cannot access the replicas of those files on
the DPM server.
• After you uninstall the DPM system requirements, you must restart the computer to complete
the uninstall.
Configuring DPM 2007
• Before you can start protecting data by using System Center Data Protection Manager
(DPM) 2007, you must verify that each computer that DPM is going to protect meets the
protected computer software requirements.
For information about the DPM 2007 software requirements, see Software Requirements
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=100242).
• To successfully protect your data using DPM 2007, you must complete the following
configuration tasks:
• Add one or more disks to the storage pool. (DPM does not support USB/1394 disks.)
