Testing Your Setup by Using Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager
You can back up your data to virtual tapes, archive the tapes, and manage your virtual tape library (VTL)
devices by using Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 or 2016 Data Protection Manager (DPM). In this topic,
you can find basic documentation on how to configure the DPM backup application for a tape gateway
and perform a backup and restore operation.
For detailed information about how to use DPM, see the
on the Microsoft System
Center website. For more information about compatible backup applications, see
Backup Applications for a Tape Gateway (p. 22)

Configuring DPM to Recognize VTL Devices
After you have connected the virtual tape library (VTL) devices to the Windows client, you configure DPM
to recognize your devices. For information about how to connect VTL devices to the Windows client, see
Connecting Your VTL Devices (p. 84)
.
By default, the DPM server does not recognize tape gateway devices. To configure the server to work
with the tape gateway devices, you perform the following tasks:
1. Update the device drivers for the VTL devices to expose them to the DPM server.
2. Manually map the VTL devices to the DPM tape library.
