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.

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 4.1.3426.0 - CRASHES WHEN TRYING TO OPEN JOBS FILTERS

I have 2 DPM 2012 SP1 servers and both are behaving the same. They were working fine earlier this week and suddenly MMC crashes when I try to open any Job filter. Everything else appears to be working fine except when I try to view any of the
default Job filters or custom filters I created such as All Jobs or All Jobs in Progress.

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)
2. SQL database was upgraded to SQL 2012 SP1
Now I want to upgrade DPM 2012 SP1 CU3 to R2. It is throwing the following error. Any help would be appreciated.

This absolutely fixed my issue. I had upgraded my version of SQL and was then trying to upgrade DPM 2012 to 2012R2 and I could not figure out where the installation was querying old version of the reporting services.

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

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,
Microsoft Partner

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 ?

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

How to use multiple tape drive from single client when I want to backup single filesystem?

Hello All.
I want to backup 1 filesystem using 4 tape drives for reducing backup time.
In case of symantec veritas netbackup, they can user "NEW_STREAM" for multi-streaming backup.
Please anybody let me know that how to do use multiple tape drive for single client.
1. Backup Source server : Linux (1 client)
2. Backup Soucre : /data1 (500GB)
-> Current directory structure doesn't have sub directory under /data1, just files present under /data1
If direcotry struceture has a sub-direcotry like( /data1/aaa, /data1/bbb ), Is it availble to use multiple tape drives?
3. Tape Drive with OSB : LTO6 * 4 drives
Thank you.

You would have to create a different dataset for each sub-folder. If you only have files at the top level folder then even the NEW_STREAM option couldn't be used to split the job.
Organise it into folders and then create datasets in a client folder such as :
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_aaa
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_bbb
Then in the schedule you just specify the Linux folder. In each dataset you list the hostname and the folder name, such as :
include host Linux
include path /data1/aaa
Now it will create a new job for each dataset and therefore each folder.
Thanks

How to configure optimal data connections to allow excel to retrieve multiple data sets form a single data source

Hi all,
I would like to have a data connection file used by excel to extract data form a SQL Server DB (so that change in location of the DB needs only a change to the single data connection file). The excel file will retrieve data from only a single database,
but there are multiple queries (30+) stored on SQL server that are used - each SQL server views' data is returned to a pivot table in an excel worksheet, which has an associated chart with various slicers on the main dashboard worksheet.
Do I need a seperate data conenction file for each SQL server query being retrieved, or can a single connection file be created as all data comes from a single database?
(all my attempts and research on the net have led me to believe that a seperate file is needed for each view, but this seems unnecessary)

Hi, im learning my way with this, so apologies if I am providing too much or too little info.
There are 8 source files which are very loosely related in that they capture infromation regarding what has happened within a metro railway over a day. However there are only a few relationships between the contents of tehse files.
These tables are imported into SQL Server using SSIS where I have developed a number of views that query these 8 source tables to generate a number of metrics to provide insight into the service provided to the passengers. Some examples of metrics are: Number
of passengers in transit at any given time, time taken to travel between adjacent stations, how much power was used during the day, what distance did the trains travel during the day, etc. Some views provide only a handful of rows, some provide 1M plus. There
are now approx 40 seperate views created.
I have then used a spreadsheet with a worksheet associated with each SQL server view. Each worksheet is set up as a pivot table, which allows the related chart on the main dashboard worksheet to use standard excel capability to slice and present the data
in different ways.
At the moment if the server on which teh database is stored moves, I have had to recreate the spreadsheet from scratch as I dont know how to change the connection information in any other way. Ideally I would like to have connection info in a single place
to reduce ongoing maintenance, particularly as I would like to place the spreadsheet on a SharePoint server to distribute it to other users.
Thanks
