DPM 2010 as a virtual server
We're deciding to run DPM 2012 on as a virtual server (running on Windows Server 2012 and as a VMware 5.5 VM)
My question is:
When presenting storage to DPM 2012, is it better to use a VFS datastore or a RDM (Raw Device Mapping)?
I can't seem to find any best-practice articles about this, so I'm asking if anyone has any experience or feedback about this.
Thanks!
(P.S. I'm using SATA attached storage devices in my Vsphere 5.5 cluster)
Hi,
the Main important Thing is, to present the Storage as a local Disk on the OS.
As for HyperV, RDM Drives will not allow the VM to Live Migrate, if so in VMware would use the better solution.

DPM 2010 installation failure (SQL-server Reporting Services Problem)
Hi everyone,
The last 2 days I have been trying to get DPM 2010 installed on a DC. I know this is not recommended, but for our company with the current setup it's the only way to do it.
I have been reading some Microsoft articles (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399416.aspx) about doing this but I fail to do so.
I have made all of the right service accounts (I guess) and am doing everything in the guide but still get the same error message over and over again:
Setup has detected that the installation of Reporting Services is not correctly configured or no instance of Reporting Services is linked to DPM2010 of SQL Server
I just can't get my head around it. This is the error message when I try to install DPM 2010 using an existing SQL-database which I have configured in the SQL 2008-server sp1 installation.
I have enclosed some screenshots so you could maybe check some things that are not correct? Hopefully we can get this issue resolved, because it's driving me crazy to be honest!
Physical server which is ADC and where I need to install SQL-server and DPM: VMBACKUP
The service account for DPM is: DPMSQLSvcsAcct
Also have another service account: DPMR$VMBACKUP
I have also enclosed the error log located in C:\DPMLogs\This is the DOM error log:

VSS snapshots for DPM 2010 Hyper-V backup conflict with SQL backup on a virtual SQL server
We currently use DPM 2010 to backup our virtual servers which reside on a 5 node Hyper-V clustered share volume. DPM uses the hardware VSS writer to backup the Hyper-V guests. Several of these Hyper-V guests are SQL servers (SQL 2008) and they
are all configured to run point in time SQL backups using SQL Management Plans.
The SQL backups are scheduled to run a full database backup on a Friday and differential backups on the other days of the week. Transaction backups are scheduled to run several times throughout the day.
However we have recently discovered that there is a conflict between these two methods as it seems as though when a restore is required using a differential SQL backup, it fails as the snapshot created by DPM forces SQL to believe it has had a full backup
carried out externally from the Management Plan and is therefore unable to perform the restore.
DPM backs up the Hyper-V guests on a daily basis from 8pm.
Can anyone provide any advice or guidance on this as we need both types of backup to run successfully. We are required to backup SQL with point in time backups and we also need to protect the Hyper-V guests in their entirety.Thanks Mike,
I have tried this but unfortunately it has no effect. The VM has Oracle installed (although not the Oracle VSS Writer). It is the Oracle application server, not the database server, and the customer has a script that is used to stop and start
the Oracle application when required. Through troubleshooting this with them I have noticed that after the WLS_Reports service/process is stopped the backups run successfully but when it is running the backups fail.
I have also noticed that when I stop the Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor the backup runs successfully, which I guess is as expected.
When the backups fail I get 2 errors in the application log:
Event Id 12293, VSS - Error calling a routine on a shadow copy provider {GUID for the Hyper-V IC Software Shadow Copy Provider}. Routine details PreFinalCommitSnapshots ({GUID}, 5) [hr = 0x800705b4, This operation returned because
the timeout period expired.]
Event Id 19, vmicvss - Not all the shadow volumes arrived in the guest operating system.
This is also part of the same problem I have posted here: Backup
fails for a Hyper-V guest with VSS Writer failures using DPM 2012 R2 - Hyper-V guest has Oracle application installed

Hi everyone,
Backup jobs for protected members are intermittently failing with the following error on the DPM server:
DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on <DPM 2010 SERVER> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)
Why does the DPM server failing to see it's own DPM agent cause the backup job for another server to fail? One day a backup will work fine, the next it may fail; and the next back to normal again...
The following error is recorded in the Service Control Manager event log on the DPM server just prior to the above error:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the DPMRA service to connect.
Thank you.
With regards,
RobHello,
I have read these entire postings and see that my problems match most of the above problems.
I believe we have tried all of the ideas in this blog and lots of other ideas from other forums and internet searches.
We have about 80 small databases protected and set at 15 minute incremental and most will work but some fail. When they fail the most common, but not only error, is something like "DPM
failed to communicate with the protection agent on <DPM 2010 SERVER> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)". The alert is inactivated in the DPM Console, and the backups resume as normal."
Since later jobs are successful I thought all was well. All was well until I went to restore from incremental backups. We worked for two days (day and night work) to restore
from a corrupted virtual disk on our SQL Server 2008 R2. I suspect DPM had something to do with the corrupted virtual disk. All I know is that we never had this problem until installing DPM. Here is what we encountered when we went to restore
from the protection points:
* Restore jobs take a minimum of 15 minutes for jobs that are 45 MB or 2 GB.
* If you pick a backup from the list of recovery points that is not valid the job runs for 15 minutes and then "Failed".
* You cannot rerun the job because SQL Server 2008 has the table being recovered as <tablename> (recovering) and a retry will not work. Of course time is wasted while waiting
to see if it worked.
* Eventually you realize that even after dropping the table in the (recovering) mode in SQL that the restore point must be bad or possibly one of this failed recovery points.
* So begins the quest to start restoring recovery points one by one and 15 minutes by 15 minutes until you find one that actually restores to a SQL Instance.
* If you have 80 of these to do and you average trying three recovery points and each takes 15 minutes, not to mention the time to drop the table in SQL, well that time adds up to 3,600
minutes of trial and error. 60 hours of trial and error, wow not much of a savings using DPM over a SQL backup plan.
* And then you have to explain to your customers that their databases were restored but you do not know at what point the DB was restored.
All in all it seems like DPM concept is great but like many backups the backup plan looks good on paper but actually restoring a backup is quite a different matter.
I don't know if anyone has ever solved the problems presented in this forum but if they have then I wish they would post and if no one has solved the problem then shame on DPM.
Good luck everyone, but I for one have spent about two months on trying to protect and restore consistently. I have never had one day of consistent and reliable restore points. I
am going back to sql management plans for my backups. I have never, in 10 years had a sql generated backup fail me. Never.

Server 2008 sp2 freezes during DPM 2010 volume shadow backup
Hi All,
We have a hyperv guest server 2008 sp2 that freezes during DPM 2010 volume shadow backup.
I presume this is when backing up SQL databases. There are no errors in the event logs.
The sequense of entries in the System event are as follows up until the server freezes.
1) The DPMRA service entered the running state.
2) The Volume Shadow Copy service entered the running state.
3) DCOM started the service swprv with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{65EE1DBA-8FF4-4A58-AC1C-3470EE2F376A}
4) The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service entered the running state.
After this the entries stop and the new entries are from after reboot.
You cannot send control-alt-delete or connect to the server in any way.
Only hard reboot gets it going again.This is the only server this is happening to.
Please advise if anybody has experienced this and how they resolved.
Maybe I require a Hotfix.This looks similar to what I'm seeing.
DPM 2010, there's one backup set (for me a file server disk) that every time I try to run the initial replica on it the server hangs and needs to be rebooted by iLO. It doesn't just die suddenly, first the data stream on the backup stops then the OS becomes
less responsive but there is no resource issue. trying to open event view will cause a few things to lock up then over a few mins the server is complete froze. like the disk drives have been locked.
Suspecting McAfee, I added in all the exclusions, that didn't help so I added the process exclusions which are done by setting dpmra and csc to low risk and that didn't help either. I could reproduce it just by kicking off a backup for this one file servers
drive so it's easy to test with.
Tonight, I had some permissions in EPO to let me stop the scanning completely and disable the on-access scan and for the first time it worked!
There is definitely an issue between DPM and McAfee beyond what is on MS's web page for AV checks.
I don't have a workaround yet other than stopping the AV completely... Something to follow up on next week. For the moment I made some progress though. -
DPM 2010 - Exchange Server 2003 Re-Directed Restore
Hello people. I am looking for some help. We currently have DPM 2010 on Windows 2008 R2 backing up Exchange Server 2003 SP2 on Windows 2003. We are trying to migrate our existing Exchange server DBs (physical server) to another Exchange Server 2003(VMware
VM) in the same domain and site. We are trying not to go the P2V route if at all possible. The existing Exchange DBs are about 1.3TB in size. The existing server has 4 Storage Groups, with a total of about 20 mailbox stores. We are trying to
get the data migrated within a 48 hour window, which at this point eliminates moving the mailboxes to the new server using Exchange task - Move Mailbox. I am also thinking RSG would not be a good option for us as the existing mailbox server will remain operational
until all the data has been migrated to the new server.
Is anyone out there aware of a document that walks through the process of doing a re-directed restore of Exchange Server 2003 DBs, backed up using DPM 2010? If a redirected restore can be done, how does AD get updated to reflect the new HomeServer for users'
mailboxes? Can the DBs simply be restored as raw files to the new server and be successfully mounted?
Thank you in advance for your support.

get the data migrated within a 48 hour window, which at this point eliminates moving the mailboxes to the new server using Exchange task - Move Mailbox. I am also thinking RSG would not be a good option for us as the existing mailbox server will remain operational
until all the data has been migrated to the new server.
Is anyone out there aware of a document that walks through the process of doing a re-directed restore of Exchange Server 2003 DBs, backed up using DPM 2010? If a redirected restore can be done, how does AD get updated to reflect the new HomeServer for users'
mailboxes? Can the DBs simply be restored as raw files to the new server and be successfully mounted?
Thank you in advance for your support.

DPM 2012 Cannot modify or create protection groups after upgrading from DPM 2010
Hi,
We have recently upgraded from DPM 2010 to 2012. Since the upgrade we have been unable to create new protection groups or add new datasources to an existing group. Existing backups are running without errors.
We have tried checking the DPM sql user account permissions as described in
this article but with no luck. More searching has not provided any other relavent fixes. We are now stuck on how to troubleshoot this any further.
In the DPM console we get the following error adding a VM to an existing protection group:
Modify protection group: Virtual Machines failed:
Error 207: An unexpected error occurred on DPM server machine during a VSS operation.
Error details: VssError:Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
(0x8004230C)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
Allocate Replica For \Backup Using Saved State\Cacti failed:
Error 207: An unexpected error occurred on DPM server machine during a VSS operation.
Error details: VssError:Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
(0x8004230C)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
In the event log we see:
The description for Event ID 955 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
The consistency check resulted in the following changes to SQL Server Agent schedules: Schedules added: 1 Schedules removed: 1 Schedules updated: 0.
Problem Details:
<ConsistencyCheck><__System><ID>26</ID><Seq>1534</Seq><TimeCreated>23/04/2012 09:33:29</TimeCreated><Source>SchedulerImpl.cs</Source><Line>719</Line><HasError>True</HasError></__System><Tags><JobSchedule
/></Tags></ConsistencyCheck>
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
Thanks in advance for any advice.Hi,
The error 0x8004230C VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED: Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported, can only come when trying to enable shadow copies on new volumes created when trying to add new datasources to protection. Generally speaking
Only NTFS volumes greater that 1GB with a minimum of 300MB free space can be shadow copied, so something is going wrong with the volume creation / format process. Please investigate that, see if two new volumes get created when protecting a new data
source, and the sizes are greated that 1GB and also verify it's formatted NTFS.

VM Protection running on Hyper-V 2012 R2 with DPM 2010
Hi everyone,
We recently setup a new Hyper-V 2012 R2 server hosting virtual machine running with a Win2012 R2 server OS and 2008R2 standard Edition
Our backup solution is still running DPM 2010.
As I understand from the DPM Protection Support Matrix, You can only protect virtual machine running on a hyper-v server under Windows 2012 R2 OS with DPM 2012 R2. Isn't there possible any walkaround to have the vm protection working on dpm2010?
Otherwise, if we choose to protect the VM at guest level instead of host-level, is DPM able to perform the recovery point?
For instance, we've got a VM running a SQL database. We would like specifically to back up that SQL database running on that virtual machine.Is DPM able to perfom that job?
Regards,
EvanHi,
To remain in a supported configuration you need to a DPM 2012 R2 server to protect the Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v server. Unfortunately, the path to get there from DPM 2012 is not an easy one.
Upgrade steps.
Note: the Operating system and SQL requirements for DPM 2012
System Requirements for DPM in System Center 2012
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757757.aspx
1) On DPM 2010 install the latest update: KB2751231 Description of hotfix rollup package 7 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
2) Update the Agents to 3.0.8195.0
3) Backup the DPM 2010 database.
4) Upgrade to DPM 2012 and update agents.
5) Install the latest DPM 2012 update and Update agents.
6) Backup the DPM 2012 database.
7) Upgrade to DPM 2012 Sp1 and update agents.

12) Install latest DPM 2012 R2 update and update agents.
Else, you could stand up a new dedicated DPM 2012 R2 server from scratch to protect that new server and leave the DPM 2010 as is for current protection.

Restore from DPM 2010 backup in DPM 2012
Hi,
I am planning to move from current DPM 2010 to DPM 2012 R2.
In-place upgrade to DPM2012 does not seem to be possible due to upgrade errors so I will have to wipe off the physical server and install DPM2012 from scratch. I use virtual tape drive (firestreamer) and backup to disk for long term protection.
The problem is how will I read my existing DPM2010 backups in DPM2012.
Is there a way to attach old virtual tapes and be able to restore data from it?
Thanks for all your feedback.
Tech FarmerHi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply.
Your solution will work for inplace upgrade. My scenario is building DPM2012r2 from scratch., which means I will not be restoring DPM2010 DB. Due to this, DPM will have no record of the tape catalog/contents.
Firestreamer will be able to mount the vTape but not identify whats in the vTape.
With this in mind, I trying to figure out if there is a way to read the old virtual tapes (files) in the new DPM2012r2. -

DPM 2010 Shell Cmdlets usage leading to Powershell crash
Hi all,
I have 71 DPM 2010 servers located at various places in the world. The most of them have a good and reliable network connection while some of them are connected via Sat-Link. All of my DPM 2010 servers have the same version, and are all running in identical
W2K8 Servers with Powershell 3 installed on them. I've made a script to inventorize Datasource Replica disk usage/allocation, shadow volume disk usage/allocation and the number of recovery points, their size. The goal of this script is to do the job that DPM
2010 should normaly do, for instance, deleting recovery points above retention date because it is not always the case... File recovery points number grows to their maximum (64) and for system State (because there is no User recovery on these ressources) their
number can be above 100 and generally it's about 150...
The script is running well locally, but if I try yo run a single Get-Datasource from one of my servers targeting another server, sometimes it leads to a simple Powershell crash... I also tried an invoke-command as job it's the same, the job returns nothing
but it is marked as completed or sometimes as failed. This happens always on some server and on the other only sometimes...
I really don't understand where is the origin of this problem... As anyone encountered such behaviour ?
Thanks a lot in advance ;-)I did not find a solution to my problem yet, but I solved a part of it...
The first of all "Powershell crash" was solved by issuing a Disconnect-DPMServer before each Get-DataSource...
The second problem solved was the fact that the Get-DataSource cmdlet required the parameter <DPMServer> to be fully in Uppercase...
The last problem remaining is the Invoke-command that continue to fail... Here is my code :
$DPMServerStatusList = @()
foreach($DPMServer in $DPMServerList){

DPM 2010 - Getting errors when viewing reports
Microsoft DPM Forum,
I am getting the following error when attempting to view reports in DPM 2010:
An error occurred during client rendering.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DLS'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
Cannot open database "DPMDB" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'servername\DPMR$servername'.
This is occurring after I rebuilt the OS on the DPM server to resolve a "tape system disconnect" issue that plagued us since November of 2013.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
JoeMike,
Thank you for that post. Yes, I saw that while I was researching a possible solution to the problem. No dice. However, I reached out to Prosenjit Kanjilal of the Microsoft DPM Support Team (as he was emailing me on our re-occurring issue
of Event ID: 15 errors - see other thread). He had me do the following:
Open SQL Studio and connect to the instance
Go to Security->Logins
Now Add 'servername\DPMR$servername' if it is not already added
I also had to add the
dbowner role to the DPMDB database under 'user mapping' for this specific user to actually resolve the issue. The user wasn't listed in the Logins in SQL Studio.
Thanks again!

DPM 2010 Scheduled Jobs Disappear rather than Run
I have a situation where I have a DPM server that appears to be functioning fine, but none of the scheduled jobs run. No errors are given, there are no Alerts, and there is nothing in the Event log (Application and System) which indicates a failure.
All my Protection Groups show a green tick to indicate that they are fine, but the last successful backup for all of them is Friday the 8th of February.
If I go to Monitoring and Jobs I see the jobs scheduled, but when the time comes for the job to run, it does not go into the "All jobs in progress", it just merely disappears, like thus:
And a few minutes later,
As you can see, the jobs disappear from the queue, and the total number of jobs decreases accordingly. These jobs do not go into any of the other 3 Statusses (Completed, Failed or In Progress), they just disappear without a trace.
There is some unallocated space, albeit not much (Used space: 21 155,05 GB Unallocated space: 469,16 GB). If space was an issue I would expect to see errors to indicate this.
DPM 2010 running version 3.0.8193.0 (hotfix rollup package 6) using remote instance of SQL 2008 which is functioning fine. I have tried stopping/starting the services, and even rebooted the server twice. The remote instance of SQL server is using
a domain account as its service account. There are no pending Windows updates, i.e. it is fully up-to-date.
The System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 Troubleshooting Guide (July 2010) does not show how to troubleshoot this particular probelm.
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue or which logs might help me troubleshoot it?OK,
Did you change the SQL Agent user account ?
If so, DPM enters the SQL Agent account name into the registry and later we check that account each time the DPM engine launches. The internal interfaces to DPM are secured using this account so the account name needs to match the account the SQL Agent
is using.
Step 1
In the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup alter both
SqlAgentAccountName and SchedulerJobOwnerName keys to reflect the SQL Agent user account being used.
Step 2
Update DCOM launch and access permissions to match what was granted to the Microsoft$DPM$Acct account.

Migrate SharePoint's SQL Server (physical) to another SQL Server (virtual server)
Infrastructure team is migrating domain\SQLSERVER db to new ‘XYZ’ Location. Also they are moving these DBs to virtual server. Currently these are physical DB servers.
I am trying to keep the server names as same ‘SQLSERVER ‘, but IP address may change. Does it have any impact on MOSS environment and what configuration changes need to be done, if needed???
Note: - i am using alias for my share point 2010 server .
SERVER INFO
2 WEB SERVER , 1 APPS SERVER
NINTEX Workflow Database without Sql "Alias"
No any Customization only 2 site colleciton with Nintex workflow.You can move all content databases to another SQL server, but moving Configuration DB will have impact on the farm. You can make it work using SQL Alias created on SP server using cliconfg.exe utility but some of the services will break on your farm. As
far as I know It is not recommended to move config db from one sql server to another.
You can check below link for referrence on moving databases from one sql to another sql:

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade to DPM to 2012 and keep getting an error on the SQl Server 2008 R2 section.
SQL is installed locally by DPM 2010 so i am not sure why its failing.
If I look at the logs and run the more information tab everything passes and there is no issues.
Anyone got any ideas
The SQL Server 2008 R2 installation failed. Review the SQL Server installation log file for failures, and then take the appropriate action.
