Resolution
When using WSB, the following errors might occur:
DPM has detected a discontinuity in the log chain for <DatasourceType> <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> since the last synchronization.
The recovery to the latest point in time failed. During a recovery to the latest point in time, DPM attempts to perform a SQL Server transaction log backup to receive the latest changes from the SQL Server database <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> before starting the recovery. This transaction log backup has failed.
DPM attempted to perform a SQL Server log backup, either as part of a backup job or a recovery to latest point in time job. The SQL Server log backup job has detected a discontinuity in the SQL Server log chain for <DatasourceType> database <DatasourceName> since the last backup. All incremental backup jobs will fail until an express full backup runs.
Performing backups using WSB on a server which DPM is protecting can interfere with the backups DPM uses.
If you are using WSB, do the following:
Ensure that WSB always takes a COPY backup using the WSB Backup Once Wizard.
If you are using WSB Scheduled Backups, ensure that the volumes you are backing up do not contain any application data such as Exchange Server data or SQL Server data.
After you reconfigure WSB, on the DPM server, run a new express full backup.
