Managing DPM Servers
As a system administrator, you are accustomed to managing servers in different roles. You plan
your maintenance routines to accommodate each server’s role, and you take that role into
account when making structural changes such as changing the server name or relocating the
server. So what do you need to consider when the role of a server running System Center Data
Protection Manager (DPM) is added to your network structure?
This section discusses performing common maintenance tasks on DPM servers. It provides
guidance on making changes to server configurations after DPM is set up and on how DPM
manages time zones. This section provides information about configuring firewalls on both the
DPM server and protected computers so that communication can be maintained. This section
also provides recommendations for monitoring DPM and offers methods for monitoring.
