In previous chapters we covered both Microsoft workload protection and non-Microsoft workload protection. In this chapter, we are going to discuss DPM non-aware Microsoft workload protection. What is the difference, you may wonder? DPM non-aware simply means that the Microsoft workloads we will look at here cannot be natively protected by DPM. Yes, DPM can protect them but you typically need to set up the protection manually. This means knowing all the components of these workloads, in order to know what has to be protected to ensure successful restores.

When DPM can protect a workload natively, you simply go into DPM and select the data to protect and it will back up the components needed for a successful restore. An example of a Microsoft workload that DPM can protect natively would be a virtual machine running on Hyper-V. You simply select the virtual machine for protection and DPM will protect the VHD's, the virtual machine configuration and any snapshots of that virtual machine. DPM automatically knows to protect all of the virtual machines components because DPM understands Hyper-V. This understanding comes from the workloads Volume Shadow Copy Service; this is what is considered "DPM aware". In this chapter we will give you valuable insight into what components need to be protected for successful backups of DPM non-aware workloads.

DPM non-aware Microsoft workload protection includes the following:

Protecting DFS with DPM

Protecting Dynamics CRM with DPM

Protecting Dynamics GP with DPM

Protecting TMG 2010 with DPM
