DPM 2010 over DirectAccess
I have a DPM server at a remote site, and I want to protect a computer at my local site. I have DirectAccess (native, not via Forefront UAG) set up and working between the two sites. I installed the DPM Agent manually on the local computer.
I attached it from the DPM server. I can create a Protection Group, but no data is getting transferred from the local (protected) computer to the DPM Server.
Replica creation fails after about 7 to 8 minutes with the following message "DPM failed to communicate with protected-computer.mydomain.com because the computer is unreachable. (ID 41 Details: No such host is known (0x80072AF9))
I can ping the protected computer (the ping replies as expected come from the protected computers IPv6 ISATAP address. I have successfully tested DCOM from both ends using wbemtest.
netstat -aonp tcpv6 run from the DPM server shows that the RpcEptMapper on the DPM server connects to port 135 on the protected computer, and then msdpm.exe establishes a connection to a RPC-assigned high port on the protected computer. This connection
remains established. Meanwile, the RpcEptMapper keeps initiating more connection attempts, which get momentarily established but then revert to a TIME_WAIT state.
Any suggestions as to what is going wrong here?
Thanks.
DPM will work in a pure IPv6 environment; however, if DPM has both ipv4 and ipv6 we expect the Protected Server (ps) to have IPV4 enabled, as our preferred channel is ipv4. If some of the agents have only ipv6 enabled then we must have only ipv6
on DPM, and on all PS's.
There is a workaround, but it was not thoroughly tested. If you set the following registry key, we should work in a mixed environment.
Please note that this was not thoroughly tested in house and is not formally supported, but good for testing to see if it helps.

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:

DPM 2010 System Drive and System State backup times increased dramatically
Using DPM 2010 to backup several computers, hypervisors, and the DPM server it self, a stand alone server all of a sudden no longer backs-up within a reasonable amount of time. This is just happening on the C drive and System State. The D drive and all other
servers and hypervisors are running smoothly. You can see below that something changed on December 11th. Backups for those two items when from about an hour to over 10 hours each. This is causing all other backups that have yet to run to be canceled because
we do not typically like the backups to run during business hours.
No changes to the server had been made. Updates were not applied to that server until December 18th. The server has been restarted. The agent version is the latest v3.0.7706.0. Ran the command "vssadmin list writers", show no errors. Any insight
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.I updated the exclusions based on the following article using the executables and path listed in TechNet article above but to no avail. Verified AV policy applied.
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB68701
Will have to figure out how to disable AV during backups and enable after completions.
Will probably write a PowerShell script for this. -
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. -
Hi,
I have a DPM 2010 Server which is doing extremely strange things. It says I am running out of disk space, my allocated disk is 12TB and the actual used space is 7TB. I can't see which server is taking up more capacity than it should and am stuck
as to what to do next. I know the replica volume needs to be modified but none of the servers are taking up the additional 3TB of space, so where has this space gone?
Many thanksHi,
Once disk space is allocated to a replica or recovery point volume that space cannot be used by anything else. Even if you decide to reduce the retention period - the space that is freed up is only on that volume and is never returned to the storage
pool. The only supported method of getting space back in the storage pool is to shrink the recovery point volume if it's over-allocated.
You can download the shrink-diskpart.zip file from the following location. This may be updated at a later time and is supplied as-is.
http://1drv.ms/1vICq9l
It has three modes of operation and will prompt to select one during execution.
R = Report, S = Shrink with confirmation, A = Automatically Shrink all possible volumes:
Recovery points are counted by days with successful recovery points regardless of how many recoivery points are taken on any given day. So, if you took 8 recovery points a day (counting express full and incremental) for 14 days, that would equal 112
recovery points. On the 15th day, we would delete 8. If you missed a few days where no RP's were made, then those days would not count toward the 14 days and we would not prune any. So you could actually see RP from 17 days ago, but still
not have 14 days of recovery points, so no pruning would occur.

DPM 2010 not recognizing space on new disk in storage pool
We are running DPM 2010 and added one iSCSI drive with over 7 TB to the storage pool. When creating a new protection group, DPM throws the error "insufficient disk space". I'm new to DPM and none of my research has shown a reason for this error.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.Hi,

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.

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 = @()

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.

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.

DPM 2010 agent install on W2k8 Domain Controller issue
Hey guys, so I'm having a problem getting DPM 2010 agents on my Windows 2008 domain controllers. For some reason the agent will not communicate with the dpm server after running the attach process. The process I go through to install (which is
working in my Dev environment) is
1) (on DC) Run manual agent install by running agent.exe file from ProtectionAgents folder on DPM server
2) (on DC) Run the setdpmserver command line to specify the DPM server
3) (on specified DPM server) Run Agent attach sequence from Agent tabs in DPM console which says successful, but when you return to agents view under "unprotected computers" I see error.
I've verified the tests that other users have posted on this forum including
PING, DCOM permissions, verifying that inbound rules are setup, tested SMB, tested RPC, and also uninstalled and reinstalled the agent. Any ideas where to search next?I checked the MSDPMCurr.errlog, but I'm not exactly sure how to look for the failures that relate to the DC. When I search for the netbios name of the DC, I can see failures, but I also see identical failures under other server names as well. Is there anything
specifically I should be looking for?
I am requesting turning off the integrated firewall for testing as well and am awaiting an answer.
I am attaching part of the log I was looking at.

Protection Agent failure error during backup to tape with DPM 2010.
DPM TechNet Forum,
We are experiencing an intermittent error when backing up to tape using DPM 2010 (with latest QFE roll-up applied).
"The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The device is not connected (0x8007048F))"
Any idea what could be causing this error?
Thanks in advance,
JoeHi,
You can try to reproduce the problem outside of DPM using some external utilities. If you have more than one drive in the library, run the test against both drives simultaneously to simulate multiple backup jobs running. If you get an error
before the tape fills you can use net helpmsg errorcode to see what the error was.
Download the DPMerasetape.zip file from the following link and extract to c:\temp folder.

Once you move a tape into a drive, use mytape commands Loadtape, taperewind, locktape, Disable hardware compression, Set block size to 65536 (64K), writeforspanning.
You need the symbolic name for the tape drive you loaded media into - look in the DPM console by clicking the tape drive and look at the details for
\\.\tape########. use that in the following command.

Dpm 2010 exchange 2010 backups are failing
Hi, I'm getting an error which does not seem to match in the DPM 2010 ID codes. Randomly, I have backups of an exchange 2010 DAG that are failing. The backup will run for a short time (5mints..up to 10minuts) and then will fail with the following error:
Type: Recovery point
Status: Failed
Description: Backup failed as another copy of 'user' database is currently being backed up. (ID 32628 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990D51)
More information
End time: 4/25/2011 10:37:27 PM
Start time: 4/25/2011 10:26:55 PM
Time elapsed: 00:10:31
Data transferred: 0 MB
Cluster node -
Recovery Point Type Incremental Sync
Source details: 06001
Protection group: EXCH2010 - 06001
I've tried restarting the DPM server to troubleshoot. I say this happens randomly because I've had some backups successfully complete against the same exchange server. The only other item that seems odd is when creating protection groups against the DAG,
the intial lookup seems to take forever. Not sure what to try next.Hello,
As DPM relies on the exchange writer to take the snapshot for the backup, if the backupinprogress flag is set to true and it does not seem get out of this state even when there is no actual backup in place, then at this point DPM is the victim.
As far as I am aware the only way is to clear that flag is to:
a.) Reboot the exchange server
or
b.) Restart the information store
In some cases even:
1.) Either Activate all other databases on another Node except for the Problem Database, and Dismount the Problem database temporarily
Or:
1.)Dismount all Databases on this Node including the problem database
2.)Restart the Exchange Information Store Service.
3.)Mount any dismounted databases
You may want to redirect this question below to the exchange 2010 forum of:
"if the backupinprogress is set to true when it should be set to false as there really is no backup being taken, then how can I reset it without having to perform:
a.) reboot of exchange
b.) restart of the information store"

What's the best way to backup DFS using DPM 2010?
We setup DFS on two Windows 2012 R2 and they are hosting files. What’s the best way to backup DFS using DPM 2010?
1. When doing data backup, do we backup both dfs01 and dfs02? Or just backup one of them?
2. Beside the data, what do we need to backup?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.comProtecting Data in DFS Namespaces
Backup files and BRM of dfs01 and dfs2 for minimaze traffic.
If dfs01 and dfs02 have good channel width that use DPM to only protect a single “copy” of the data located on a server-specific local path.
