DPM DISASTER RECOVERY FOR

DATACENTER
Overview
Branch scenarios
Quick recovery using local backup
Backup to remote site for DR

Data center scenarios

Protect one DPM server with another
Recover Production Server from a data center or the DR site server
Replicating data center multiple times in a single day without using tapes – minimum
frequency is 6 hours/day
Quickly recover critical services in case of disaster (no longer need to search catalogues and
ship tapes !! )
Ship the machine
Continue protection on DR site after recovery is over
DPM to DPM for DR

All data protected

Sync / 15min
File RPO = 2hrs (12d)
App RP = 512 days
with 15m RP’s

Important Data
Sync / 6 hours

DPM to DPM for DR Setup Protection
• DPM2007A server on DPM2007B (DR site) as a protected server
 “Enable communication” of PS protected by DPM2007A with DPM2007B server
also
 Protect DPM2007A DB
FS1 \ data (share)  Local DB : Protected as DB on DPM volume
 Remote DB : Add remote SQL server and protect DPM DB
 Protect replica copies of selected data sources
AccountingdB  Create PG and schedule protection with a DR intent
(SQLdb)  For files, “snapshots” can be defined on DR server
 For apps - Define how often to synchronize
