How DPM Works

DPM Directory Structure

When you begin protecting data with DPM, you will notice that the installation path of DPM

contains three folders in the Volumes directory:

• \Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\DiffArea
• \Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica
• \Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\ShadowCopy

The DiffArea folder contains mounted shadow copy volumes that store the recovery points for a

data source.

The Replica folder contains mounted replica volumes.

The ShadowCopy folder contains local backup copies of the DPM database. In addition, when

you use DPMBackup.exe to create backup shadow copies of the replicas for archive by third-

party backup software, the backup shadow copies are stored in the ShadowCopy folder.
