On the DPM Server tab on the Modify Disk Allocation screen, you can change the space allocations that DPM recommends for the protection group.

For information about allocating disk space, in the DPM 2007 Planning Guide, see Planning Protection Groups (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91849).

This page contains the elements described in the following table.

Elements

Name Description

Storage Type

Select the storage location. Your options are Storage pool or Custom volume.

Replica Volume

Type the disk space for the replica volume, or select the custom volume to use for the replica volume.

Recovery Point Volume

Type the disk space for the recovery point volume, or select the custom volume to use for the recovery point volume.

Custom Volume

Select the custom volume.

Any volume that is attached to the DPM server can be selected as a custom volume except the volume that contains the system and program files

Note
DPM cannot manage the space in custom volumes. If DPM alerts you that a custom replica volume or recovery point volume is running out of space, you must manually change the size of the custom volume by using Disk Management.
