Setup/Guidance/Troubleshooting DPM 2010 Bare Metal Backups

bare-metalscdpmwindows-server-2008

Having difficulties setting up Bare Metal recovery in DPM 2010.

Does anyone know of a good guide/walkthrough to talk me through a basic setup? I have tried most of the DPM knowledge base without much luck.

I can perform System State backups, but as soon as I enable bare metal the jobs start failing. Error codes are not coming up anything on google at all.

Thanks in advance

Couple of things off the top of me head:

  1. BMR only works with 2008 and 2008 R2 servers.
  2. BMR requires the Windows Server Backup feature to be installed on the server you're trying to backup

Keep an eye on the DPM 2010 team blog, it has some good info on there including a walkthrough of how to do a BMR in DPM 2010.
