Important

Although volumes on file servers are typically formatted as NTFS, which is required for

DPM protection, it is not uncommon for volumes on workstations to be formatted as FAT

or FAT32. To protect these volumes, you must convert them to NTFS. For instructions,

see

How to Convert FAT Disks to NTFS

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83022).

When you select a volume or share for protection, you automatically select all protectable child

items in that volume or share, as shown in the following illustration.

To exclude a folder from protection, you ensure that the parent of the folder that you do not want

protected is selected, and then you clear the check box of the folder that you do not want
