Configuring the DPM Server

Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007

Before protecting a SharePoint farm, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are installed on the DPM server

DPM Server Prerequisites

  • DPM 2007 SP1. Additionally, we recommend that you install the latest DPM 2007 SP1 hotfixes.

  • KB 940349.

  • At least 2 GB of space on the volume in which the DPM folder is present for every 10 million items. This is required for catalog generation. In DPM, to perform granular level recovery of items (site collections, sites, lists, document libraries, folders and individual documents), catalog generation provides you a list of URLs contained within each content database. This list of URLs is displayed on the recoverable item pane in the DPM Administrator console.
