Protected Computer Software Prerequisites
Each computer that System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 protects must meet the
requirements listed in the following table. Protected volumes must be formatted as NTFS file
system. DPM cannot protect volumes formatted as FAT or FAT32. Also, the volume must be at
least 1 gigabyte (GB) for DPM to protect it. DPM uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
to create a snapshot of the protected data, and VSS will create a snapshot only if the volume size
is greater than or equal to 1 GB.
Before you install protection agents on the computers you are going to protect, you must apply
hotfix 940349. For more details, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 940349,
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=99034).
Note
After installing Knowledge Base article 940349 and then restarting the DPM server and/or
the protected server, we recommend that you refresh the protection agents in DPM
Administration Console. To refresh the agents, in the Management task area, click
the Agents tab, select the computer, and then in the Actions pane, click Refresh
information. If you do not refresh the protection agents, Error ID: 31008 may appear
because DPM only refreshes the protection agents every 30 minutes.
