The recovery goals are defined by the configuration of retention range, synchronization
frequency, and recovery point schedule. DPM provides default settings for the recovery goals;
however, you can modify each or all of the settings.
At least one synchronization must be scheduled to occur between scheduled recovery points. For
example, you specify a synchronization frequency of every 45 minutes. You cannot then
configure recovery points to be created at 1:00 P.M. and 1:30 P.M. because there is no
intervening synchronization between the recovery points.
When a SQL server is configured to use the Simple Recovery Model or is the primary server in a
log shipping pair, the recovery points for any protected databases on that server are created
according to the schedule for express full backups.
