Recovering data from an external DPM server
You can recover the data you've backed up to Azure Backup (Recovery Services Vault) from another DPM or MABS server in case of disaster or data corruption. The external DPM server feature can be used for this type of scenario. This recipe will show you how to recover your data from Azure Backup using an external DPM server.
For more information on how to enable Azure Backup, please see Chapter 10, Integrating DPM with Azure Backup.
Getting ready
Before you get started, you need to make sure you have another DPM/MABS server connected to Microsoft Azure, with the latest Azure Backup agent, and registered to the same Recovery Services Vault from which you want to restore your data. You can download the latest Azure Backup agent from the following location: https://go.microsoft.com/fwLink/?LinkID=288905.
Note
Please note that you cannot add an external DPM for recovery as long as you don't have another DPM/MABS server registered to the same Recovery Services...
