When DPM backs up the system state of a workstation or member server, the following components are protected:

  • The boot files

  • The COM+ class registration database

  • The registry

  • System files that are under Windows File Protection

Domain Controller System State

When DPM backs up the system state of a domain controller, the following components are protected:

  • Active Directory Domain Services (NTDS)

  • The boot files

  • The COM+ class registration database

  • The registry

  • The system volume (SYSVOL)

Certificate Services System State

When DPM backs up the system state of a member server or domain controller with Certificate Services installed, Certificate Services is protected in addition to the member server or domain controller system state components.
