• If a service pack or update is installed on the protected farm, the recovery farm must have the

same service pack or update installed or item-level restore operations could fail.

• Both the recovery and target farms must be in the same language and have the same

language packs installed.

• The target farm must contain a site collection with the same path as the original protected

site. If the site collection does not exist, you can create an empty site collection with the

correct path on the target farm before you perform the recovery.

When you restore a site, DPM restores the database to the recovery farm, extracts the site from

the recovery farm, and imports it into the target farm. During this process, DPM creates a

temporary file on the recovery farm at a location specified in the Recovery Wizard. You should

periodically delete the temporary files at that location.
