Share Point Recovery -- Site recovery on the share point farm itself


Before DPM can be used to recover any individual site/contents on to a protected Farm, following requirements needs to be completed:

1)   An additional dummy SharePoint farm [called as Recovery Farm] is required.
2)   This farm may be a single server and may be hosted in a virtual environment. If you are recovering a WSS 3.0 site, your recovery farm should be WSS 3.0; if you are recovering a MOSS site, your recovery farm should also be MOSS.
3)   The list of features and templates present on the recovery farm must be the same as those on the production farm that is SharePoint Farm build and the SQL SKU installed should be same as the original production farm.
4)   On the Recovery Farm, create a DPMRecoveryWebApplication which would be used by the DPM Application to restore the data on production farm.
5)   Once the Recovery Farm is online, install the DPM Agent, attach the Recovery Farm to the same DPM server and run Configure Protection.exe to configure the WSS Writer.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know, Thank you
