Configuring Backups for Bare Metal Recovery
You can use DPM System Recovery Tool (SRT) to back up DPM servers, file and application
servers, and workstations for bare metal recovery.
To configure backups for bare metal recovery of a server, you create a Recovery Point Schedule.
The Recovery Point Schedule specifies the computers to be backed up, the dates and times for
the backup, and the Recovery Set, which is the definition of the volume entries to include in the
Recovery Point.
DPM System Recovery Tool defines two Recovery Sets:
• System Volumes, which protects system files, system settings, and boot files
• Disk Layout, which protects disk information, including master boot code, partition table,
partition, and volume information
You can create custom Recovery Sets in DPM SRT.
The DPM SRT agent must be installed on each computer that is backed up by DPM SRT. You
can configure automatic installation of the agent when you create the Recovery Point Schedule,
or you can install the agent manually.
For instructions about using DPM SRT, see DPM SRT Help, which is the DPMSRT.chm on the
product DVD.
Custom Recovery Set for Front-End Web Server
To back up a front-end Web server for a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services farm, we
recommend that you select the system volumes and disk layout Recovery Sets, and create a
custom Recovery Set that protects the following data:
• Virtual directories that are not on the system volume
• The registry
• The Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase
• Windows SharePoint Services installation files if they are not on the system volume
