Protecting a SharePoint Farm

  • Article

Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010

To protect a SharePoint farm, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Install DPM protection agents on all SharePoint servers that you plan to protect. For more information about how to install DPM agents, see Installing Protection Agents (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=179676).

  2. Enable SharePoint protection by configuring a front-end Web server. For more information about configuring front-end Web servers, see Configuring the Front-End Web Server.

  3. If you are protecting Windows SharePoint Services 3.0/MOSS 2007 Search, you must configure a front-end Web server to enable SharePoint Search protection.

  4. On the DPM server, run the Create New Protection Group Wizard to protect SharePoint data that exists under a front-end Web server that is configured for protection. For more information about how to create a protection group, see DPM Help.
