Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 infrastructure.
You deploy Data Protection Manager (DPM) to a server named DPM1.
A server named Server1 has the Hyper-V server role installed and hosts a virtual machine named VM1.
From DPM1, you perform a full backup of Server1.
You discover that you are unable to restore idividual files from VM1.
You need to ensure that you can restore individual files from VM1 by using the DPM Administrator console.
What should you do first?
A.
On VM1, install Windows Server Backup
B.
On DPM1, attach the VHD of VM1
C.
On DPM1, install the Hyper-V server role.
D.
On VM1, install integration features.
Explanation:
in either case, DPM utilizes the Hyper-V VSS writer to synchronize block-level differences within the VHDs using
a process called an Express Full, which identifies which blocks have changed in the entire VHD and then sends
just the updated blocks or fragments. This provides a complete and consistent image of the virtual hard disk
files on the DPM server or appliance. DPM maintains up to 512 shadow copies of the full VHD set by storing only
the block-level differences between any two images.http://blogs.technet.com/b/bettertogether/archive/2010/11/16/why-dpm-2010-and-hyper-v-are-better-together.aspx
