10、is the new standard for windows server backup and recoverydelivering continuous data protection for microsoft applications, virtualization, file servers, and desktops using seamlessly integrated disk and tape media, as well as cloud repositories. dpm enables better backups with rapid and reliable re

11、coveries for both the it professional and the end-user. dpm helps significantly reduce the costs and complexities associated with data protection through advanced technology for enterprises of all sizes. the following figure shows an overview of the protection process and the data sources that dpm20

12、07 sp1 protects.figure 1: dpm2007 sp1 overviewdpm and bare metal recoveryusing complimentary technologies in addition to dpms actual software, dpm2007sp1 can perform a bare metal recovery (bmr) to restore an entire server without an operating system. although recovering an entire computer may initia

13、lly sound appealing, there are factors where the fastest or most optimal recovery action is to only restore the system state containing the registry and unique operating system binaries over a pre-built generic server for example, restoring the system state for one of 200 similarly configured branch

14、 office servers. in other scenarios, instead of recovering antiquated hardware and a servers operating system that has been in use for some time, it may be more effective to simply restore the data to a newer and faster server. for those scenarios where a server has a very complex configuration that

15、 would be difficult to rebuild, the ability to perform an image-level restore is ideal.when dpm2007 was released in the fall of 2007, it was packaged with a second software offering called the dpm system recovery tool (srt), which provided bare metal recovery for computers running windows xp and win

16、dows server2003. with the release of windows server2008, the windows server2003 built-in backup utility was replaced with a new windows server backup utility (wsb). the wsb was developed by the windows server team as the only intended way for a windows server to do an image-level backup or restore o

17、f the windows server2008 operating system.with the release of dpm2007 sp1, windows server2008 is now a supported operating system for protection and recovery of data. the scripting feature in dpm2007 sp1 enables backup administrators to back up any application data (for which dpm does not provide na

18、tive support) that runs on windows server2008. this whitepaper provides step-by-step instructions about how to use dpm2007 sp1 to create a bmr backup of the critical volumes of a computer running windows server2008. after you create the backup copy, you use it to rebuild a computer in the event of a

19、 disaster.prerequisitesyou must perform the following prerequisite steps before you can create a bmr backup:1. install dpm2007 sp1 on the dpm server.2. install windows server backup on the protected server.3. manually install the dpm protection agent on the protected server. for more information abo

20、ut how to manually install a protection agent, see installing protection agents manually (4. in dpm administrator console, in the management task area, on the agents tab, verify that the agent installation was successful.note: for more information about troubleshooting protection agent installation

21、issues, see troubleshooting protection agent installation issues (5. perform the following steps to find the total size of all the critical volumes:a. to start windows server backup, click start, point to administrative tools, and then click windows server backup.b. if you are prompted, in the user

22、account control dialog box, provide backup operator credentials, and then click ok.c. on the action menu, click backup once.d. in the backup once wizard, on the backup options page, click different options, and then click next.e. on the select backup configuration page, click custom, and then click

23、next.f. on the select backup items page, select enable system recovery. for the purposes of this procedure, use x gigabytes (gb) as the total size.the following figure shows the status of the selected volume and a size of 32.58 gb. write down the size of the volume that you selected.figure 2: volume

24、 backup sizeg. close the backup once wizard, and then close windows server backup.6. create a dedicated volume for the bmr backup. the backup size must be greater than or equal to (=) 1.5 * x gb. this volume will be used as the staging volume. for the purposes of this procedure, we are using volume

25、e:, which is referenced later in this procedure.7. create a folder on the volume you created in step 6, and then name it serverbackup.8. share the folder you created in step 7, and then name it serverbackup$. create the share using the following command line option:net share serverbackup$=e:serverba

26、ckup /grant:system,fullconfiguring backups for bmrto configure the bmr backup, you create a protection group. before you create the protection group, you must perform the following configuration steps:before you create the protection group1. create a batch file named c:serverbackupscriptswin2k8serve

27、rbackup.cmd, and then copy the following code snippet into the batch file.echo offsetlocal enabledelayedexpansionset backup_target=%computername%serverbackup$rd /s /q %backup_target%windowsimagebackup%computername%wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:%backup_target% -allcritical -quietif %errorlevel%

35、 recovery wizard.6. click next, and then select recover to an alternate location. 7. select the network share (preferably a share on a machine that is on ipsec boundary) where the bmr backup has to be dumped to. (eg: serverbackup$).note: machines in winpe cannot connect to network shares which have

36、ipsec enabled. the machine should be an ipsec boundary machine so that a non-domain joined machine can access the network share using a username and password.8. complete the recovery wizard.9. after the restore, move the windowsimagebackup folder to the root of the share. for example, serverbackup$windowsimagebackup.10. after the recovery is complete, traverse the target destination and move all *.vhd files from:serverbackup$windowsimagebackupto: serverbackup$windowsimagebackup11. restart the target
