Can't add external DPM in MABS

Hello, I'm trying to restore data from external DPM. I've got two on-premises DPMs. One works good and sends backups to Azure. Second is deployed for testing and I'm trying to add external DPM on it...

Hi Anatoly,

Is it full blown data protection manager via system center licensing or MABS via the Azure portal?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

It's MABS via the Azure portal. I thought that new version fixes the issue but it doesn't. I installed MABS v2 but still can't add external DPM.

  Hi Anatoly,
  
  Its my understanding that this isnt supported and is a feature thats only possible with DPM via the System Center Suite.
  
  Can you explain a little more about the scenario that your trying to achieve i.e. the reasons / requirements for secondard backup server?
  
  Thanks

    Paul,
    thank you for your interest and taking part in my issue.
    
    It might be as you say but it's strange then. By the way I couldn't find any info whether it's supported scenario or not.
    I'm trying to simulate some kind of disaster recovery. Suppose I lose my main backup server with data. How can I restore data from Azure without adding external DPM?
