Allocating Space for the Protection Group
When you select disk-based protection, you must allocate space on the storage pool for the
replicas and recovery points for each data source that you want DPM to protect. You must also
allocate space on protected file servers or workstations for the change journal. DPM recommends
and allocates disk space for your protection group based on the size of the data to be protected.
You can modify the disk space in the storage pool; however, there are guidelines you must follow
to increase the allocated disk space. For more guidelines about allocating disk space, in the DPM
Planning Guide, see Planning Protection Groups (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91849).
To allocate space for the protection group
1. On the Review Disk Allocation page, review the space allocations that DPM
recommends for the protection group. DPM lists the disk spaced that is allocated for your
protection group based on the size of the selected data.
Accept the default space allocations unless you are certain that they do not meet your
needs.
2. On the Review Disk Allocation page, do the following:
a. Accept the recommended allocations, or click Modify to change the disk space
allocation on the DPM server and the protected computer, or to specify a custom
volume.
b. On the Modify Disk Allocation page, on the DPM Server tab, select from the
following:
• Storage type. Select the storage location. Your options are Storage pool
or Custom volume.
• Replica Volume. Type the disk space for the replica volume, or select the custom
volume to use for the replica volume.
• Recovery Point Volume. Type the disk space for the recovery point volume, or
select the custom volume to use for the recovery point volume.
• Custom Volume. Select the custom volume.
Any volume that is attached to the DPM server can be selected as a custom volume
except the volume that contains the system and program files
