System Center 2016 Data Protection Manager (DPM) provides a centralized, enterprise-class solution for disaster recovery. With DPM, you can back up multiple hosts: Hyper-V, VMware, and Azure virtual machines; Windows client and server operating systems; SQL Server; Exchange and SharePoint servers; and Linux virtual machines, just to name just a few. This course shows how to back up and recover these systems and more, using the DPM administration console and time-saving PowerShell cmdlets. Instructor Daniel Lachance reviews DPM components and architecture and discusses considerations for installation and backup configuration. He shows how to apply protection to workloads such as file servers, SQL Server, Hyper-V virtual machines, and Windows clients, and easily recover the data—even from failed servers that refuse to boot. The course wraps with a discussion of monitoring, reporting, and troubleshooting in DPM.
