Updated: January 15, 2013

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Data Protection Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Data Protection Manager

System Center 2012 – Data Protection Manager (DPM) requires a SQL Server 2008 R2 instance for the DPM database. During setup, you can choose to have Setup install SQL Server on the DPM server, or you can specify a remote SQL Server instance to use with DPM.

For step-by–step instructions on how to manually install and configure a remote instance of SQL Server for DPM, see Setting up the DPM database.

Using a remote SQL Server instance requires that the DPM support files is installed on the remote computer. For step-by-step instructions, see To manually install the support files.

Depending on which supported operating system you use, there are updates that you must apply before installing DPM. For a list of the supported operating systems, the required updates for each, and links that you can use to download and install the updates, see DPM Server Software Prerequisites.

Setup automatically installs the prerequisites in the following table. If you need to manually install one or more of the prerequisites, you can use the procedures and links in this topic.
