Backup DPM 2012 SP1 from Recovery console

Hi
I have a problem. I have a server with Windows Server 2008 R2 and DPM 2012 SP1. Because of a recent RAID controler crash i am unable to fix this server to boot to windows. I can only get into recovery console. I see the volumes normaly! So here is a million
dolar question. How can i backup DPM databases from recovery console so that i can make a full restore when i freshly install new windows and DPM?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
Boštjan

Hi,
only Thing you need ist MDF and LDF files from DPMDB.
Try to copy These two files.
Install your new Serve with same Name and same DPM version
Restore DB with SQL Management Studio and overwrite the new and existing one
present DPM Backupstorage to the new server
Run dpmsync -sync

  • DPM 2012 SP1 long term backup fails when protected server reboots

    Hi,
    we're using DPM 2012 SP1 with Short-term and long-term protection.
    We use a daily short-term backup to disk and a weekly long-term to tape.
    We are noticing that when a long-term tape backup is running, it fails when we reboot one of the protected servers.
    Is anyone else having this issue ? I assumed the long-term tape backup will be created from a disk-recovery point. 

    Hi,
    What is the detailed error code in the properties of the failed initial replica or consistency check job ?

  • DPM 2012 SP1 4.1.3426.0 - CRASHES WHEN TRYING TO OPEN JOBS FILTERS

  • MMC crashes when attempting modification of a protection group in DPM 2012 SP1 RU3

    Hi All,
    I've got a problem with my DPM 2012 SP1 server for a few weeks now. It's backing up and restoring fine, but when I attempt to modify any protection group, the MMC crashes. This happens even before the modify protection group dialog is displayed, just a few
    seconds after clicking 'modify' with the protection group selected.
    it was running DPM 2012 SP1 RU1, is now running RU3, this update did not make the difference I was hoping for. Also installation of the DPM console on a remote management server results in the exact same problem.
    Below is the error message. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem and solved it?
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    I had the same problem with Sharepoint backups, there was a problem with the protection group so i removed it and added it back. since then no issues.

  • DPM 2012 SP1 - Single Data Source Written to Multiple Tape Drives

    Just a question, really...
    I know that DPM can write to multiple drives for a single protection group with more than one data source.
    However, is it possible for DPM 2012 SP1 (or R2) to write to multiple drives from a single data source from a single protection group?
    So if I have "DataSource A" in "MyProtectionGroup" and I allocate 2 tape drives to the PG, could DPM use both drives to backup the PG?
    I assume the answer is "no," but I just wanted to double check.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    What you are wanting is a feature called striping and DPM does not have that advanced feature.

  • An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)) After DPM 2012 SP1 to R2 Upgrade

    Hi,
    We have upgraded DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 and OS is Windows 2012 standard.
    Now in File Protection Group, we receive error
    "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))".
    This happens to only one Drive(X: Drive) of the PG server, other drive(Z: Drive) backup is working fine.
    We tried,
    Deleted entire protection group and recreated ,
    Ran consistency job 2 to 3 times.
    Ran Synchronize with consistency check.
    But every time It failed. Before upgrade it was working fine.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I would suggest opening a new case with MS to allow the DPM team to further look into the issue. Also the DPM 2012 R2 RollUp which addresses the (0x80070057)
    issue is Rollup 1 and the private will not be needed after applying Rollup 1. The Roll up is found here

  • Upgrading DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 fails (DPM Setup is unable to connect to the specific instance of SQL Server Reporting Service (ID: 33431)

    The Background:
    1.  DPM 2012 SP1 was originally installed on a server with local SQL 2008 R2 instance (SQL was installed as part of DPM)

  • Installing DPM 2012 SP1 onto Server 2012 R2 (Compatible / Supported)?

    Hi,
    Can DPM 2012 SP1 be installed onto Server 2012 R2? i.e. is it compatible and also is it supported by Microsoft?
    If so are there any official documents or links provided by Microsoft for this installation scenario?
    I would have installed DPM 2012 R2 onto Server 2012 R2 but this is not possible due to DPM 2012 R2 not supporting Server 2008 protected servers!
    Thanks,

    I found that the only way to fix it previously was to completely remove IIS from the server and reinstall everything connecting to the Web Console, so far its not the best way to go as I keep getting this error after 2 days,
    Can anyone tell me how I would even go about diagnosing this?
    Kind Regards

    Got the same issue again with Update Release 2 for R2,
    then found this blog, but it did not help me, only guided me in a direction
    http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com/2013/12/quick-fix-register-aspnet-40-with-iis.html
    What help me was to re-add the svc-integrated-4.0 by copying and pasting the info it, same with the ScriptModule-4.0.
    Don't know why that worked for me but this is a funny issue,
    I also don't recommend doing this, as it only worked for me.

  • Connection dropped between DPM and Agent during consistency check, following DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2

    Recently I have updated a DPM 2012 SP1 standalone server to DPM 2012 R2. That it’s self was a challenge... Following the upgrade most of the protection groups required consistency checks. For some time I have been having problems performing these consistency
    checks on remote servers over a 10Meg link.
    On the DPM server I would kick off a ping to the remote host, then start a consistency check. Within a few seconds I would start to get dropped pings, and very large ping response times, 3000ms plus. Within 3 minutes the pings would time out completely and
    no connections can be made to the remote server, RDP etc. However any other server on the network can connect to the remote client. Eventually the DPM jobs times out and sometime later the pings also return.
    The resolution to this has taken some digging but this is what I have found. The DPM agent update does not seem to fully work and requires a reinstall. Here is my process:
    Logon to remote client server
    Install .net 4 (a raw install of the client requires this, may not be needed when done via DPM)
    Via Add Remove Programs, remove DPM agent
    Clean up Reg
    Delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager"
    Delete "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPM**" (However this key is not there for me)
    Back onto DPM Server
    Modified protection groups as required to remove all instances of the client server
    Remove Agent for client server
    Install agent via DPM (watch for the glitch right at the end where it does a failed, then succeed…)
    REBOOT client server
    Add back into protection group
    Consistency check kicked off automatically
    This seems to have fixed the issue.

    Hi,
    The prerequisite required for DPM 2012 SP1 that must be installed is a re-rerelease of UR3 which is 4.1.3317.0 - please download and install the update specified.

  • DPM 2012 SP1 Backup to Cloud

    I realize I'm going to be a little ahead of where the software is on this one but on the subjects of backups, DPM, Instead of pointing DPM to the azure public cloud can I use our Private Cloud (Windows 2012, System Center 2012 SP1 + Azure Services for
    Windows Server)?
    Thanks
    Si
    Simon Stearn - Militant South - Agile Architecture

    I assume that when you say Azure Services for Windows Server, you are referring to Windows Azure Pack?
    If you are doing this on premise then I think you would need to stick to the conventional DPM-to-DPM model?
    I can't personally imagine that the DPM team will add the ability to use the Cloud Backup feature with an on premise Azure cloud as the capability for on premise off-site backup is already there in DPM-to-DPM.
    Thanks,

  • SC DPM 2012 SP1 does not display cleaning tape in console

    Hi everyone,
    I'm running DPM and have a IBM TS3100 tape library.
    I have installed a LTO5 compatible IBM cleaning tape into the library. But a cannot see this tape in console.
    In web interface, I can see it as "Unknown" tape in slot 15. There was an alert that says me about "possibly cleaning tape in slot 15". But in DPM console, slot 15 is not present. 
    How can I solve this problem?

    Dear EugenBerend,
    I time ago I dumped in into a challange that was similar what you are facing. The only difference if that I had a TL2000 tape from DELL adn you have an IBM TS3100. The good thing is that DELL's hardware is based on the Component from IBM meaning that the
    solution that I found may work for you to.
    Please have a look at this blogpost I wrote and let me know if the problem was solved or still persists.
