Using the DPM 2007 Administrator Console we can recover all sorts of protected data from a single point of view. To start any recovery process we just need to click on the Recovery item.
Procedure for Recovery
1.In Review Recovery Selection screen select the data and clicking on Recover… the first screen of the Recovery Wizard will contain the details of the data that will be recovered.Click on Next.
2.In Select Recovery Type. you can choose the original location, an alternate location or Copy to tape (where the entire volume where the data resides will be copied to tape).
3.Based as per ur need select any appropriate recovery options.
4.Just an overview of all your choices up to now, click on Next.
5. Recovery Status screen will appear displaying the operation result how much time was spent in the operation and how much data was transferred from DPM server to the server.
DPM 2007 is a server-based application that enables disk-based and tape-based data protection and recovery for computers in and across Active Directory domains

Procedure for Protection Group Creation
DPM Protection is based in the Protection Group.The protection group defines retention range, how often synchronization will occur, how many recovery points will be available, where the protection will be kept, etc.
1.Open the Data Protection Manager 2007 Console.
2.Click on the Protection task area.
3.In Toolbox Actions, click on Create Protection Group:
4.Welcome to the New Protection Group Wizard page;select the computers which DPM is going to protect. click on Next.
5.In the Select Group Member page, we can see all the servers that have been installed with the DPM Agent.
6.We are going to Protect the Exchange Serevr.First of all we will see which ststorage group need to be protected.Select the appropriate Storage Group.
7.We can exclude the files and folder also for this storage group.
8.In the Select Data Protection Method page we can define the Protection Group name and we can define which method we are going to use in this protection group: Disk (short-term protection), Tape (long-term protection) or both.We will select Disk as tape is not attached to the server.
9.In the Short-Term Goals page, we have to define the Disk Based protection plan for the data and servers already selected. The options that we can define are how many days of retention, synchronization frequency and how often a recovery point will be created.
10.Review Disk Allocation page. We can define space for Replica and Recovery Volumes. We can click on the Modify button to change the volume sizes; DPM uses the current volume information of the protected server to calculate the proper size.
11.In the Choose Replica Creation Method page we can define how and when the initial replica of the selected data will be created.
12.In Summary page a list with all the defined settings will be shown in this page.
13.Status page showing the tasks performed to create the Protection Group will appear, just click on Close.

DPM Console
DPM Console has main 5 tabs
1. Monitoring:- This area allows us to monitor the status of DPM Operations, further it having two sub tabs: Alerts and Jobs.
a) Alerts :- This displays messages about agents, backup and restore procedures.
b) Jobs :-This display the status of jobs and the tasks associated with them.
2. Protection :- In this area we can manage the Protection Groups, Protection Schedules, disk allocations, etc. We can also synchronize and create a Recovery Point.
3. Recovery :- In this area we can recover data that has been protected by the Protection Groups. We can see all the servers and protected items in a single view. We can use the calendar to see the days and specific times that we have a recovery point available. We can also see which media has the selected recovery point (disk or tape).
4.Reporting :- The Reporting Service has some reports that allow administrators to measure some items, such as: statistics, performance that might help with hardware resource capacity planning. There are some built in reports
Disk Utilization, Protection, Recovery, Status,Tape management and Tape utilization.
5. Managent :- In the Management Area the DPM Server components which interact with the servers and store the data. These items are: Agents, Disks and Tape library

Storage Pool Addition Procedure
DPM uses a set of disks called the Storage Pool where it stores replicas and recovery points of the protected data. At least one disk in the Storage Pool is required to start the process of protecting the servers.When a disk is attached to the storage pool DPM will convert it into dynamic disk.
Step for Adding storage pool in DPM Server
1.Open the Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager.
2.In the Navigation bar click on the Management area.
3.In the Display Pane, click on Disk tab.
4.In the Actions pane, click on Add.
5.Add Disks to Storage Pool. In the left frame all available disks that may be used by DPM will appear. Click on the disk and click on the Add -> button. The disk will be moved to the right frame and we can see the disk. Click on OK.
6.Now We can see the disk status, how much is allocated for protection, how much space is still unallocated and which Protected volumes are on this specific disk.

DPM Backup Protection
DPM Server provide backup solution by there ways :
1. Disk to Disk :- It means copying of backup from one computer to disk of another computer.This type of backup is very fast.
2. Disk to Tape :- Copying of backup data from one computer to tape media. It provide archival solution for backup.
3. Disk to Disk to Tape :- This type of backup provide two ways of protection data recovery will be very fast as disk is there and benifit of archival solution for data as tape is there.

Introduction of Data Protection Manager
System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 is a server software application that enables disk-based and tape-based data protection and recovery for computers in and across Active Directory domains. DPM performs replication, synchronization, and recovery point creation to provide reliable protection and rapid recovery of data both by system administrators and by end-users.
DPM is designed to run on servers running Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2, Windows Storage Server 2003 with SP2, and Windows Server 2008 operating system (pre-release version). DPM uses replication, the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) infrastructure, and a rich, policy-driven engine to provide businesses of all sizes with nearly continuous protection and rapid, reliable data recovery
