I am a system admin and we recently acquired DPM 2010 and an LTO4 HP drive for about 15 dev servers. We have two protection groups - #1 is file systems and system state, #2 is SQL db's and Exchange sg's. #1 goes to tapes daily, #2 goes to local and tape daily. Things work well, all in all, except for the constant alerts.
It's so bad that I get about 200 emails per day on avg. Most usually come from tape backups. A sampling from today:
Backup of ########### on ########### cannot be completed. DPM could not find a valid recovery point on disk.
So what can I do to improve this situation or diagnose the real cause? Is there a way to set SLA's on alerts, like what Microsoft offers for Operations Manager users with DPM management pack (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=7612) except for people who only run DPM without OM?
Thanks!
