DPM Deployment Before DPM can begin protecting the data and applications on the systems in your network, you must do the following: • Install prerequisite software on each server system you want to protect. • Deploy the DPM Protection Agent to each system you want to protect. You must own one DPM Agent License for each system you protect using DPM. Refer to the "DPM Licenses" on page 37. • Create one or more protection groups to define which systems, data, and applications on those systems DPM will back up, as well as how often DPM backs up those systems. • Set advanced DPM configuration settings (optional). Installing Protected System Prerequisite Software Prior to installing a DPM Protection Agent on a protected server in your network, install Microsoft Update for Windows Storage Server 2003 x64 Edition KB940349. This update is available on support.microsoft.com. The update is also on the Microsoft® System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 reinstallation media that shipped with your system. It is located in the \prereqs directory. To install the update, double-click on the KB940349 executable (.exe) from the system administrator account. Deploying Agents A protection agent is software installed on a server that tracks changes to protected data and transfers those changes from the protected server to the DPM server. Refer to "Installing Protection Agents" in Deploying System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 for information on deploying the agents to systems in your network. DPM Deployment 39
