Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Overview

This lab uses Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, an application on which you can run multiple virtual computers on the same physical hardware. During this lab you will be running one or more virtual PCs on a lab host computer. The following tips will help you navigate from the host desktop to each of your virtual PC sessions: The input focus of your mouse and keyboard passes to the virtual PC when you click inside a virtual PC window. To move the input focus from a virtual PC window to the desktop or to another window move the mouse pointer outside the Virtual PC window and then click on the desktop or window you want to access.
Data Protection Manager 2007

Thank you in advance for your interest in Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 (DPM).
DPM 2007 is a key member of the Microsoft System Center family of management products, designed to help Information Technology (IT) professionals manage their Windows environment. DPM 2007 is the new standard for Windows backup and recovery providing reliable protection and rapid recovery of data for both IT professionals and end-users.
DPM 2007 delivers continuous data protection for Microsoft application and file servers using seamlessly integrated disk and tape-based media. DPM significantly reduces the costs and complexities associated with data protection through advanced technology for enterprises of all sizes.
The image below shows what a typical DPM 2007 deployment might look like. This deployment topology is not necessarily reflective of you particular deployment.

Figure 1.1 shows the protection process. This process involves creating and maintaining a full replica of the protected data and regularly creating recovery points of the synchronized replica. The replica serves as a full backup of the protected data. The recover points allow you to recover previous versions of the protected data.
Figure 1.1
DPM protection process
DPM provides disk-based and tape-based protection for your data, which can be deployed as: Disk-to-Disk (D2D). Method of backup in which data from one computer is stored on the hard disk of another computer. You can use this method to backup your DPM server using your existing alternative tape product. Disk-to-Tape (D2T). Traditional method of backing up data from one computer to a storage media such as tape. Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T). This method combines D2D and D2T for extra protection. D2D2T provides the rapid recovery benefits of disk-based storage in the short term and archive storage for critical data using tape-based storage in the long term.
Data Recovery
The recovery process involves choosing a previous version of the data source from the stored recovery points on the DPM server, and then restoring a copy of the selected data to its point of origin on the protected server or to an alternate location. The recovery options available to you as a DPM administrator vary depending on the type of data protected and they type of data which you would like to recover. Figure 1.2 shows the process for recovering data using DPM. Figure 1.2 DPM recovery process
About these Labs

While performing the steps in these labs you are an administrator; either a system administrator, or database or email administrator who previously relied on dedicated backup personnel for the Contoso Ltd. Company. Your company will use DPM to protect Exchange data, and then to recover data due to data corruption problems that have occurred. The DPM tutorial provides you with lessons that contain detailed instructions. The instructions have been designed so that you can complete the lessons in the lab even if you do not have extensive experience with DPM 2007. These labs were not designed to show you each and every administrative feature available in DPM however they will guide you through learning and understanding key features. They also provide you with a pre-configured testing ground in which you can learn and demo DPM 2007. Most of the tasks that you perform in DPM can be automated by using Power Shell scripting. These labs will provide you with the steps to complete certain tasks using the DPM console as well as using Power Shell scripting. As you can see when you start the labs key pre-requisites have already been configured for you:
DC01 - Active Directory has already been installed and configured. Both member servers have already been joined to the domain (contoso.int).
EX01 - Exchange 2003 SP2 has already been installed and configured. Two storage groups with 4 mailbox databases per storage group have already been configured. Test users have been created and enabled on the Exchange server.
DPM01 - Data Protection Manager 2007 SP1 has already been installed for you. There has been no configuration done yet though as this will be done in the lab. Two additional hard disks (2 * 16GB) have been added to the server however they have not yet been added to DPM.
Image change requirements

Need to add the 2nd disk to DPM and add it via Windows Run the command regsvr32 %windir%\System32\vss_ps.dll on DPM server Need to install the exmerge stand alone utility on EX01 (copy exchmem.dll file) Remove netproxy from all user accounts under IE connections
Install .netframework 3.5 on DPM01

Install this hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943295 on DPM01
Optional Pre-requisite Step

If you are interested in exploring the tape library features of DPM you can download and install the Firestreamer media changer from http://www.firestreamer.com/fs/changerinstall.aspx. This application allows you to configure a 5 drive, 200 slot media library in your lab environment. Details on how to use this application are provided at http://www.firestreamer.com/fs/changer-config.aspx. The reason that we have not pre-installed this application in the lab is that it is currently in beta therefore it will need to be downloaded and installed when the labs are run. There will not be detailed instructions provided in this lab for installing and configuring this virtual library.

PROTECTING EXCHANGE SERVER 2003
Objective: In this step, you create a protection group that you configure to protect a storage group on a computer running Exchange Server. You use the Create New Protection Group Wizard to guide you through the steps to create your protection group. Purpose: To start protecting storage groups on your computer running Exchange Server, you must create a protection group. Tasks .1 Configure Exchange Server Protection Detailed steps .1 On the Administrator Console, click the Protection tab. .2 Under Actions click Create Protection Group. .3 On the Welcome to the new Protection Group wizard click next. .4 Expand EX01 | All Exchange Storage Groups. Note: Due to the limitations of the virtual environment this steps make take some time to complete. .5 Select SG01 and SG02 and then click Next. Note: The selected databases are added to the Selected members box. .2 Selecting a Name and Protection Method for the Protection Group .1 On the Select Data Protection Method page, in the Protection group name box, type Exchange Storage Groups. Note: You can select short-term protection using either disk or tape, or you can select long-term protection using only tape. In this step, if your virtual lab does not include virtual tape hardware, you will only be able to select short-term protection using disk-based protection. .2 Select the I want short-term protection using checkbox, and then select Disk from the dropdown list. .3 Click Next. .3 Specify Exchange Protection Options .1 Prior to configuring Exchange protection you need to ensure that the ESE.dll and ESEUTTIL.EXE have been copied from \\EX01\c$\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin directory on DPM01. .2 Point to Run Eseutil to check data integrity. Note: To those of you familiar with protecting data in Exchange, you should recognize the inclusion of
eseutil. To those of you not familiar with Exchange backups, eseutil is used to validate whether the data is correct. That process consumes a lot of resources. DPM allows you the option to offload that resource need from the production Exchange server to the back-end DPM server. There is one caveat here, for disk backup the tool runs on the DPM server. For tape backups it would still run on the Exchange server. .3 Click Next. .4 Specify Short Term Goals .1 On the Specify Short-Term Goals page, type 5 days as the Retention range. Note: The retention range is how long you need your backed-up data available. For example, you decide if you need today's data to be available a week from now, two weeks from now, or possibly a year from now. .2 In the Synchronization frequency section, select 1 hour as your option. Note: The default behavior is to synchronize every 15 minutes, which means that the DPM server will never be more than 15 minutes behind the server it is protecting. The average Recovery Point Objective (RPO) becomes 15 minutes from any crises if the server or disk is critically impacted. We have found however that synchronizing this frequently does not produce additional benefit over a 1 hour synchronization period. .3 Click Next. .4 Point to Disk Space Allocated in DPM. .5 Click Next. Note: If you would like to review the space that DPM has automatically allocated for this protection group you can click on Modify. .5 Specify Long-Term Goals Note: These steps will only be available if you have added a virtual tape library as noted above. .1 On the Specify long-Term Goals page, type 7 years as the Retention range. Note: The retention range is how long you need your backed-up data available. For example, you may be subject to one or more industry regulations (e.g. Sarbanes Oxley or SOX) where you are mandated to retain your data for seven years.
.1 In the Synchronization frequency section, accept the Weekly option. Note: The default behavior is to perform a full backup once per week, which is usually more than enough considering that most recoveries will now be done from the disk-based replica instead of relying on nightly incremental or differential tape backups. .2 Click Next twice. .2 Choose Replica Method .1 On the Choose Replica Creation Method page, click Next. .2 Note: By default, replication will begin immediately. However, you can choose to have replication begin at a later time or manually transfer the data using removable media. .1 On the Summary page, review the tasks that DPM is set to perform to create the protection group, and then click Create Group. Note: When the creation process is complete, DPM displays a Confirmation Page where you can view the results of creating the protection group task. .3 After the tasks complete successfully, on the Confirmation Page, click Close. .2 In DPM Administrator Console, on the Protection tab, expand the Exchange Storage Groups protection group, and then verify that the databases you selected are protected and the status is OK. Note: It may take a minute for the replica to verify.
.3 Create the Protection Group
CREATE PROTECTION GROUPS USING DPM SHELL
Now that we have seen how you can create a protection group using the DPM management shell we are now going to complete the same steps using the DPM management shell. In order to do this we will need to delete the existing protection group that we just created. Wait until the initial replica creation for this protection group has completed prior to proceeding with the next series of steps. Tasks .1 Delete the existing protection group Detailed steps .1 On the Administrator Console, click the Protection tab. .2 Right click on the protection group named Exchange Storage Groups and choose Stop Protection of group. .3 When prompted to decide whether or not you wish to keep the protected data select Delete protected data and click Stop Protection to continue. .1 On the desktop, double-click DPM Management Shell. .2 Type the following command and press ENTER: $ps = Get-ProductionServer -DPMServerName DPM01 | where {$_.machinename -eq "EX01"} Note: By using the | (pipe) command to send the output to the where clause we are limiting the number of servers that will be returned. .3 Type the following command and press ENTER: $ps Note: Here we can confirm that the where clause worked correctly. This view shows the server domain and the protection state. A production server is any server that has the DPM protection agent installed on it. .4 Type the following command and press ENTER: $ps | fl Note: Here we can see the same list of servers however we have used the | (pipe) command. This command lets us send the output to the fl command which produces a formatted list. .5 Type the following command and press ENTER: $dsSG01 = Get-DataSource -ProductionServer $ps inquire | where {$_.name -eq "SG01"} .6 Type the following command and press ENTER:
.2 Locating the Data Source
$dsSG02 = Get-DataSource -ProductionServer $ps inquire | where {$_.name -eq "SG02"} Note: The above two commands will pipe the protectable objects from the production server EX01 to the variables $dsSG01 and $dsSG02. .7 We will now use the two variables that we just created to create a protection group for storage groups SG01 and SG02. .3 Create the Protection Group .1 Type the following command and press ENTER: $newpg = New-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName DPM01 -Name Shell_pg Note: This creates a protection group only in the memory. We now have to add a protectable object. Before we can do that, the new protection group has to be made modifiable. .2 Type the following command and press ENTER: Get-ModifiableProtectionGroup $newpg .4 Add the Customer_Info database for Protection Note: Now that Shell_pg is modifiable, we need to add a data source for protection. .1 Type the following command and press ENTER: Add-ChildDataSource -ProtectionGroup $newpg -ChildDataSource $dsSG01 .2 Type the following command and press ENTER: Add-ChildDataSource -ProtectionGroup $newpg -ChildDataSource $dsSG02 .5 Set Data Source Allocation Note: By default, the data source is not allocated to a disk yet. We can run a simple command to add it to a DPM disk. .1 Type the following command and press ENTER: Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation manual replicaarea 2GB shadowcopyarea 2GB -datasource $dsSG01 -protectiongroup $newpg .2 Type the following command and press ENTER: Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation manual replicaarea 2GB shadowcopyarea 2GB -datasource $dsSG02 -protectiongroup $newpg .6 Set the Replica Creation Method Note: By default, the replication method is set to manual. We will use the following command to set replication to begin immediately after the protection group is created. .1 Type the following command and press ENTER:
Set-ReplicaCreationMethod -ProtectionGroup $newpg Now .7 Set the Retention Range Note: The last step we need to do before saving the protection group, is set the retention range. .1 Type the following command and then press ENTER: Set-PolicyObjective -ProtectionGroup $newpg -RetentionRangeInDays 5 -synchronizationfrequency 60 .8 Save the Shell_pg Protection Group Note: We can now save the protection group. .1 Type the Following command and press ENTER: Set-ProtectionGroup $newpg .2 Switch to the DPM Administrator Console. .3 Point to Protection Group: Shell_PG. .9 Verify Protection Group .1 On the DPM Administrator Console, point to SG01 and SG02 and ensure the status of both protection sources is OK.
