7. Deployment #1 (Branch Office Deployment)
Requirements
Retain backup data for 35 years
Eliminate the need of a secondary DPM server Role in the head office
Eliminate the Tape infrastructure in the Head office
Solutions
After UR5 , Azure offers 99 Years for LTR
Issues During the Deployment
Backup fails with 0x07F26,
FIX/Workaround
Increase the scratch space for MARS to use 10 % instead 5 %

8. Deployment #2 (LTR Protection with Azure)
Microsoft Ignite 2015
4/16/2017 1:31 PM
Deployment #2 (LTR Protection with Azure)
Requirements
Need an Offsite Backup
Retaining 14 days of backup
Huge onsite data with limited bandwidth
Solutions
Azure Backup is the solution
Offline Seeding tool to Upload Tape to Azure
Issues During the Deployment
Intermittent Online Protection Fails,
The online backup fails due to a subset of backup is causing issues
FIX/Workaround
This is known issue , PG is working to fix soon
Schedule the online protection and disk protection on a different time
Skip files that would cause a failure
Add a DWORD named MaxFailedFiles with a number high enough to get around the subset
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Azure Backup\Agent\ContinueOnFailure/MaxFailedFiles

10. Offline seeding in Azure
Microsoft Ignite 2015
4/16/2017 1:31 PM
Offline seeding in Azure
Accelerate seeding your business critical apps backups with Azure Import/Export feature.
Avoid seeding initial backups over the network when it is infeasible or prohibitively expensive.
Use well known logistics vendors to ship disks directly to Azure data center of your choice.
Three steps Process

15. Monitoring and Reporting
Steve Buchanan

16. Enterprise dashboard reporting needs
Common asks of Backup Dashboards/Reporting?
Was the Backup SLA met?
How much data was transferred during backup?
How large is each protected data source?
(Root Cause) Problem with DPM or the protected server?

17. DPM Visibility Options in SCOM
Distributed Application
DPM Dashboard
Best Practice:
If you have more than 1 DPM server monitor and manage in SCOM.

18. DPM enterprise reporting
Old Reporting
Limitations
DPM Console Only
Single DPM server
No data such as size transferred, total time of transfer
Some reports hard to read
Not easy to customize
No SLA’s

19. DPM enterprise reporting Cont...
New Reporting
Improvements
SCOM Console
DPM Executive Summary Report
Dedup compression report (Optional)
Aggregates DPM servers
Backup SLA’s
Easy to build custom reports
New documented SQL views

20. DPM enterprise reporting framework
Microsoft Ignite 2015
4/16/2017 1:31 PM
DPM enterprise reporting framework
To enable Reporting:
Need SCOM 2012 R2 deployed w/ DW working.
DPM management packs must be imported to SCOM and central console must be deployed.
DPM 2012 R2 and Central console must be on UR5.
Must configure SLA’s on DPM servers using Set-DPMProtectionGroupSLA CMDLet to get SLA data in reports.
The FileServices MP is a pre-req of the DedupReporter MP.
