System Center 2012 - Data Protection Manager (DPM) backups, protects, and restores data on servers and client computers, and Microsoft workloads. On each computer or server you want to protect, you install the DPM protection agent. On the DPM you add each data source you want to protect to a protection group, and configure backup and restore settings for each group.
