Recovering DPM Servers

If the server is inaccessible, set up a new server either by restoring the DPM server image using

DPM System Recovery Tool (SRT) or installing the operating system and applications, including

When you recover a primary DPM server, you must reestablish protection for the computers that

For more information about recovering a DPM server by using DPM SRT, see "Bare Metal
