Tape Consumption/Utilization on System Center Data Protection Manager 2012
Hi Guys,
I have setup System Center DPM 2012 for Exchange 2010 Backup, the tape library that i am using is Dell TL4000 with 45 Slots and two LTO 5 Drives. The total size of Exchange backup is 33 TB but the no. of tapes used to backup are 16 LTO5 tapes.
The native capacity of LTO5 tape is 1.5 TB and the compressed capacity is 3 TB.
The total no. of tapes used for exchange backup are 16 therefore 16 Tapes x 3 TB = 48 TB where as the total backup size of exchange is 33 TB which means there is a complete wastage of 15 TB tape storage.
Does any one know if its a known issue on DPM? Is there a way where i can tweak the tape utilization? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Sajeel
Hi,
The LTO5 compression ratio is usually an average of 2:1 depending on the data being written. Some data is not compressible like .jpg .bmp etc. so it's not predictable ahead of time how much data will fill a tape. The fact
that you are achieving greater than native capacity shows that compression is enabled and working.
Besides the data not compressing as much as you like, the only other explanation for not getting more data on a tape is it may not be filling before we either get an EOM from the drive, or we get an IO error that DPM is going to convert to an EOM.
To see if it is the latter check the DPMRA Errlogs for the error code 0x8007045D.
Open an Administrative command prompt.
CD C:\Program file\Microsoft System Center 2012\DPM\DPM\Temp
Find /I "0x8007045D" DPMRA*.Errlog >C:\temp\DPMRA0x8007045D.TXT
Notepad C:\temp\DPMRA0x8007045D.TXT
If you find any, add the registry settings for BufferQueueSize and BusyRetryCount using the following

I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?

Recover Child Data Source - System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 SP1
I'm trying to write a script that, given an input file, recovers data from 1st of the month redirected to a folder.
It's all working, but I need to be able to restore only a folder from a D: drive that is protected for instance.
how can I restore a folder and it's contents from powershell? I can restore and redirect a whole drive for the recovery point I want, but I can't figure out how to restore a childdatasource. I've identified the cds, but how can I make that a recoverableitem
to feed the recover cmdlet?
MarkChild data source isn't the way to do this, I should have checked each recoverable item in the recovery point, that would like the top level items such as top level folders/vm's/sql dbs, etc.

Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager
Hi,
I have two DPM (2012r2)servers, one is member of the domain, second is workgroup configuration.
I installed Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager, I have no problem connecting to DPM domain member.
Can I connect to the workgroup DPM server with System Center Data Protection Manager?
Thanks,
LiorHi
The DPM server itself must be a member of a domain. DPM will not work if the server is in a workgroup configuration.

System Center Data Protection Manager 2010: DPM server cannot inventory
Hi All,
I'm using DPM 2010 running on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I have attach Tape libraries to the server.
I saw ibm totalstorage 3573 tape library. then I click inventory but it failed as below:
The detailed inventory of tape failed for the following reason: (ID 3316). DPM could not reserve the drive resource because one of required drive resources is not online or
it needs cleaning or servicing.
Recommended action
1) View and resolve all alerts for the library and its drive(s). Retry the operation after resolving the alerts.
2) Go to the Library tab in the Management pane and click on Rescan. Once the rescan operation has completed successfully, retry the operation.
What should I do? Do you have any solution?
BR,
Khemarin
[email protected]Hi Khemarin,
In the error it states that one tape drive isn't online. Go to your device manager and verify that all of your tape drives and your media library is ok. Does all the tape drives show up in the DPM console?
If everything looks ok but you still got the problem please try to use DPMDriveMappingTool.exe to remap the tape drives.

Our test environment is quite simple one Operations Server 2012 R2; with the database and SSRS instance on another server; Service Manager 2012 is on it’s own virtual machine; and the Service Manager Data Warehouse on it’s own. I’ve been trying to demo chargeback
with scvmm and I’m having issues with the chargeback reporting.
I’ve followed this process to install chargeback reports:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj614406.aspx which
completed successfully. All of the cubes seem to process correctly in Service Manager and I can create a chargeback analysis excel sheet with no issues in service manager. I still do not get any chargeback reports in the Operations console though. I get some
reports under the “Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports” heading like Capacity, Host Group Forecasting, Host Utilization, etc but no chargeback report.
I can see the chargeback report in the SSRS website but cannot get it to appear in the Operations console. If anyone has any tips or troubleshooting they can point me at I would appreciate it.Hi,

Data Protection Manager 2012 - Inconsistent when backing up Deduplicated File Server
Protected Server
Server 2012 File Server with Deduplication running on Data drive
DPM Server
Server 2012
Data Protection Manager 2012 Service Pack 1
We just recently upgraded our DPM server from DPM 2010 to DPM 2012 primarily because it is supposed to support Data Deduplication. Our primary File server that holds our home directories etc. is limited on space and was quickly running low so just after
we got DPM 2012 in place we optimized the drive on the file server which compressed the data about 50%. Unfortunately shortly after enabling deduplication the protected shares on the deduplicated volume are getting a Replica is Inconsistent error.
I continually get Replica is Inconsistent for the Server that has deduplication running on it. All of the other protected servers are being protected as they should be. I have run a consistency check multiple times probably about 10 times and it keeps going
back to Replica is inconsistent. The replica volume shows that it is using 3.5 TB and the Actual protect volume is 4TB in size and has about 2.5 TB of data on it with Deduplication enabled.
This is the details of the error
Affected area: G:\
Occurred since: 1/12/2015 4:55:14 PM
Description: The replica of Volume G:\ on E****.net is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with
consistency check. You can recover data from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106)
More information
Recommended action:
Synchronize with consistency check.
Run a synchronization job with consistency check...
Resolution:
To dismiss the alert, click below
Inactivate
Steps taken to resolve - I’ve spent some time doing some searches and haven’t found any solutions to what I am seeing. I have the data deduplication role installed on the DPM server which has been the solution for many people seeing similar issues. I have
also removed that role and the added it back. I have also removed the protected server and added it back to the protection group. It synchronizes and says consistent then after a few hours it goes back to inconsistent. When I go to recovery it shows that I
have recovery points and it appears that I can restore but because the data is inconstant I don’t feel I can trust the data in the recovery points. Both the protected server and the DPM servers’ updates are managed via a WSUS server on our network.
You may suggest I just un-optimize the drive on the protected server however after I have optimized the drive it takes a large amount more of space to un-optimize it (Anyone know why that is) anyways the drive isn’t large enough to support un-optimization.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advanced.Ok I ran a consistency check and it completed successfully with the following message. However after a few minutes of it showing OK it now shows Replica is Inconsistent again.
Type: Consistency check

Data Protection Manager 2012 R2 agent: SetDpmServer returns error 0x80004005
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server running business-critical applications. This is an ancient server, and I don't know who and how installed and configured its OS. I need to protect it using DPM 2012 R2.
I was unable to automatically deploy DPM agent to this server due to error, so I installed the agent manually. However, when I try to manually associate the agent with a DPM server, it returns the following error:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin>SetDpmServer.exe -dpmservername SERVER
Configuring dpm server settings and firewall settings for dpm server =[SERVER]
Configuring dpm server settings and firewall settings for dpm server =[DOMAIN\SERVER]
SetDpmServer failed with errorcode =0x80004005, error says: To further troubleshoot failures with SetDpmServer, go to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169142
The link is invalid. I've found a Techne article mentioning this error code, which tells only to check access to the DPM server from the server with the agent. The agent does have access, but the error persists even if I turn off the firewall completely.
I even reset the local firewall rules to default settings, but it has had no visual effect (except I had to restore several rules manually).
I suspect that something is wrong with OS settings or services. Any ideas what can be investigated next?
Evgeniy Lotosh<br/> MCSE: Server infractructire, MCSE: MessagingHi
If you add the following predefined default firewall rules, the setdpmserver.exe should run:

Data Protection Manager 2012 to protect clients backup
Hi All,
I have a requirement to backup 200 clients data (including email PST files). I have below concerns to be clarified,
1. 200 LAN users, does DPM new version support compression? does it compress data and do the backup process?
2. Can we do block level backup?
3. Least sync time between backups? can we schedule backup sync time for each 15 min with incremental backup?
4. Does DPM support block level recovery?
5.Does DPM support tapes? (Media Agent)
Thanks
DilshanHi,

A1. You can enable on-wire compression so backup data transmitted between client and DPM Server is compressed. However all backup data on the DPM server is stored at rest in uncompressed form unless the source file is NTFS compressed on the client, then
DPM will also store it compressed.
Q2. Can we do block level backup?
A2. All short term disk to disk backups are block level backups.
Q3. Least sync time between backups? can we schedule backup sync time for each 15 min with incremental backup?
A3. For Client backup, the minimum Synchronization frequency is 1 hour, the maximum frequency is 24 hours.
Q4. Does DPM support block level recovery?
A4. No - all recoveries are full file recoveries.
Q5. Does DPM support tapes? (Media Agent)
A5. For Client protection, you must have short term to DISK protection, but you can also add long term tape protection.

Data Protection Manager 2012 on Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2 and NAS connectivity
Hi, we currently use Symantec Backup Exec 2010/2012 on Windows 2008 R2 servers storing the data on two LAN-connected NAS servers. As part of our MS licensing package, we have obtained System Center 2012. I'm seeing if DPM can replace our BE software, but
I'm running into a major hurdle, I can't connect (Add) either of the NAS machines. I see on DPM posts where you need to have a physical connection to the NAS (iSCSi or fiber channel) not an option on the NAS (Thecus N8800 & N8900 (no ability to add cards)
and SMB 3.0 (appears to be a Windows 2012-only option ... I dread 2012 and don't want to move to it right now). Can my virtualized (hyper-v) W2008 R2 server see a non-connected NAS and if so, how do I pull this off.
ThanksHi
DPM needs local storage to connect to. you cannot use a NAS or USB device to backup to like with other backup software. -
October 2014 update rollup for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Data Protection Manager 2012 R2
Hello all,
After installing the October 2014 update rollup for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB2995388) on our Windows 2012 R2 Core Edition backup jobs of System State start to Fail, below the generic error:
The replica of Non VSS Datasource Writer on hostname.domain is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for this data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check.
The job was cancelled. The user either cancelled the job or modified the associated protection group.
Removing the update rollup all jobs complete without errors. Somebody is expiriencing the same issue? How can we resolve the problem?
Thnks, AndreaHi Andrea,
Have you installed the update 2919355?

Data Protection Manager 2012 R2
Hey Guys,
We're using DPM 12r2 for our backups and we ran into an issue where basically where we lost our exchange server and our replica is inconsistent. I can see the data on the drive but I can't create a recovery point because the protection is inactive. Do any of you have an idea on what to do?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks CommunityDPM doesn't support SQL 2014 yet. See
Mike's comment and
DPM support matrix for more information.
If you are required to use SQL 2014, you can setup
database mirroring — DPM 2012 R2 UR2 can backup such configuration. It's still unsupported, though.
