How Protection Group Changes Affect Jobs

Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007

Changes to the configuration of a DPM protection group can result in the cancellation of some active jobs. A change could affect replica jobs, archive jobs, or both. The following table lists the jobs that are canceled in each category.

Job types

Replica jobs Archive jobs
  • Replica creation

  • Consistency check

  • Synchronization

  • Create recovery point on disk

  • Recovery from disk

  • Create recovery point on tape

  • Verification of data on tape

  • Copy data to tape

The following table lists the affects of protection group changes on active jobs. Jobs can be canceled for all members of the protection group ("protection group"), all data sources on the protected computer ("protected computer"), or all protected computers in the same time zone as the computer hosting the data sources in the protection group that is changed ("time zone").
