Can't add external DPM in MABS
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?
Hi Anatoly,
Not a problem! In regards to a disaster scenario you can associate another MABS server to the same vault in Azure and recover data on the second (disaster) MABS server.
Instructions can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-alternate-dpm-server
Or is it the above that isnt working for you?
Thanks
Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to do.
After I choose credentials, main DPM server and set password I get an error. I read somewhere on the Net that I should wait a day before trying do that. But waiting doesn't help. Today I decided to backup something and try to add external DPM after that. I'm not sure that it'll help but that's the only guess that I've got.
