Data Protector Express® User’s Guide and Technical Reference
Restore data to the production server by selecting the instance from the production server path (as
shown). Select the instance from the DPM agent path to restore the data to the DPM server replica area.
Using Disaster Recovery with the DPM server
Microsoft DPM requires a minimum of two disks for installation: one for the DPM server installation and
at least one to hold replication data. When recovering a DPM server in the case of a disaster, we
recommend restoring all disks on the machine.
To recover a DPM server:
1. Do a full system disaster recovery restore of all tapes. This will not restore the DPM server database
or the DPM managed replicas. Additional steps need to be taken to complete the full restore.
2. Stop the MICROSOFT$DPM$ service using the service control manager.
3. Restore the DPM master database:
a. Stop the Data Protector Express service.
b. Open a command prompt and change the directory to
<dpm_install_dir>\Prerequisites\MSSQL$DPM$\Binn.
c. Start the DPM SQL server in single server mode by running the following command:
sqlservr.exe –c –m –s MICROSOFT$DPM$.
Leave the command prompt window open.
d. Start the Data Protector Express user interface (not the service).
e. Create and run a job to restore the master database found at the following path:
\Network\<dpm_server>\Data Protection
Manager\MICROSOFT$DPM$\master
4. Restart the MICROSOFT$DPM$ service using the service control manager.
5. Restore all other databases of the MICROSOFT$DPM$ SQL instance with the SQL agent. The DPM
databases can be found under the following path when creating a restore job:
\Network\<DPM SERVER MACHINE>\Data Protection
Manager\MICROSOFT$DPM$
6. If new disks were added to the machine, the DPM configuration may need to be updated:
