Restart the DPM Protection Agent service on <ServerName> . If the service fails to start, re-install the protection agent.
45	DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on <ServerName> because the agent is not installed or the computer is restarting.	Install the protection agent. If the computer is in the process of restarting, allow some time for the computer to come online.
46	DPM failed to perform the operation because too many objects are selected. Select fewer objects, and then retry the operation.	If you are trying to protect a large number of data sources on a volume, consider protecting the whole volume instead of individual data sources. If you are trying to recover a large number of folders or files from a volume, consider recovering the parent folder, or divide the recovery into multiple operations.
47	Some components of the protection agent on <PSServerName> were not installed or configured properly.	Verify that the targeted computer <PSServerName> is not running an unsupported version of the operating system. Restart the computer <PSServerName> . If the problem persists, on <PSServerName> , uninstall the DPM protection agent by using Add or Remove Programs. Then, on the DPM server, in the Management task area, on the Agents tab, reinstall the protection agent on <PSServerName> .
48	<ServerName> needs to be restarted. This might be because the computer has not been restarted since the protection agent was installed.	Restart the server. If you have protected data on this server, synchronize the data by performing a consistency check after the restart.
49	The protection agent timed out while trying to access the file <FileName> for volume <PSVolumeName> on <PSServerName> .	Ensure that the file is accessible. Synchronize the data with a consistency check.
50	The DPM protection agent on <PSServerName> failed to perform a consistency check for file <FileName> on volume <PSVolumeName> .	Ensure the file is available and rerun the consistency check.
51	Root directories were added to or removed from protection for volume <PSVolumeName> on <PSServerName> .	No action required.
52	The DPM service was unable to communicate with the protection agent on <ServerName> .	Restart the DPM Replication Agent (DPMRA) service on <ServerName> .
53	DPM failed to communicate with <ServerName> because of a communication error with the protection agent.	Ensure that <ServerName> is remotely accessible from the DPM server. If a firewall is enabled on <ServerName> , make sure that it is not blocking requests from the DPM server. Restart the DPM Replication Agent service on <ServerName> . If the service fails to start, re-install the protection agent.
55	The protected volume <VolumeName> on <ServerName> could not be accessed. The volume might have been removed or dismounted, or another process might be exclusively using it.	To resolve this error, ensure that volume <VolumeName> can be accessed. If a new volume <VolumeName> was created to replace a previously protected volume with the same name, and you want to protect the new volume, you must remove the original volume from its protection group, and then add the new volume to the protection group. You can retain the replica for future recoveries. If you no longer want to protect any data sources on the computer, you can uninstall the protection agent from the computer. If the volume has been permanently removed or deleted, remove the volume from its protection group (optionally choosing to retain the replica for future recoveries), and then inactivate the alert by clicking Inactive alert .
56	DPM failed to move data because it did not receive the completion status from the protection agent.	Retry the operation.
57	DPM cannot continue to protect the data on <TargetServerName> because there is not enough disk space available on one or more of its volumes.	Free up disk space and retry.
58	DPM is out of disk space for the replica.	Ensure there are no pending disk threshold alerts active for this data source, and then rerun the job. DPM might have automatically grown the volume and resolved the alerts.
59	DPM was used to initiate the recovery for <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> . After this operation is complete, DPM must synchronize its replica with the data recovered on the protected computer in order to continue protection. The replica is being marked inconsistent to enable DPM to run a consistency check to synchronize the replica.	No action required.
60	The protection agent on <ServerName> was temporarily unable to respond because it was in an unexpected state.	Retry the operation.
62	Cannot find the volume <VolumeName> on the computer running DPM.	Ensure that the storage pool disk is accessible. If it is not, reallocate disk space, and then re-protect the data.
63	DPM cannot protect <FileName> because there is no virtual name configured for the Resource Group to which the file belongs.	Ensure that the Resource Group has a virtual name configured. Also, check that the dependencies between cluster resources are configured correctly.
64	Volume <VolumeName> is offline on the DPM server.	On the DPM server, open Server Manager , expand Diagnostics , expand Event Viewer , expand Windows Logs , and then take the recommended action in the Application log.
65	The DPM service was unable to communicate with the protection agent on <ServerName> .	Restart the DPM Replication Agent service on the server.
77	The consistency check job failed due to an internal error.	Rerun the consistency check job.
78	DPM is unable to continue protection for data sources on the protected computer <ServerName> because DPM has detected an incompatible filter installed on this computer.	To resolve, see Incompatible filter driver errors .
91	The replica of <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> is not consistent with the protected data source.	No action required.
92	Cannot access volume on the replica of <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> .	Stop protection of <DatasourceName> , and then reconfigure protection for this data source.
93	The replica of <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> is being created.	If the replica creation is scheduled for a later time, no action is required. If you have chosen to manually create the replica, copy the data, and then synchronize with consistency check.
94	he data source <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> is no longer protected, and DPM no longer has a replica of it. The replica was probably deleted because the Stop Protection without retaining replica task was run for this data source.	NoWait for the replica creation operation to complete. Then retry the job. action is required. Wait for the DPM database to be updated to reflect that this data source is no longer protected.
95	Job failure on replica of <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> was caused by an ongoing synchronization operation.	Cancel the ongoing synchronization operation, or wait for it to complete. Then retry the operation.
96	Job failure on replica of <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> was caused by an ongoing replica creation.	Cancel the consistency check operation, or wait for it to complete. Then retry the job.

116	Job failure on <ServerName> was caused by other ongoing conflicting operations on that computer. Note that some applications do not allow parallel recovery and backup operations on the same data source.	Cancel the operations, or wait for them to complete. Then retry the operation.
117	The synchronization job failed due to an internal error.	For SQL Server, Exchange, or Windows SharePoint Services data, create a recovery point, enable short-term disk protection, and select Create a recovery point by using express full backup. For other types of data, create a recovery point, and then select Create a recovery point after synchronizing.
118	The selected data cannot be recovered to the DPM server <ServerName> because the replica is not in the Replica creation pending state.	Ensure that the replica is in Replica creation pending state before recovering..
130	You cannot add more recovery points because the maximum number of recovery points for the entire retention range is <MaxLimit> .	To increase the recovery points per day, you must either decrease the retention range or select fewer days of week.
131	File name extensions must begin with a '.' and cannot contain any of the following characters: /, \, :, *, ?, ", <, >, \|	No action required.
132	Remove duplicate file name extensions.	Remove the extensions.
133	You cannot choose this recovery point because the time difference between it and a previous recovery point is less than your specified synchronization frequency. Specified synchronization frequency: <ValueEntered>	Choose a recovery point that has a time difference with a previous recovery point that is equal to or greater than the specified synchronization frequency.
135	Cannot protect this folder because data on other mount points of this volume have been selected for protection.	No action required.
136	Unable to create protection group because no disks or tape libraries available.	Configure a tape library or add a disk to the storage pool.
137	The protection group name entered already exists.	Specify a different name.
138	You have enabled protection of data on the system volume <ObjectName> . If you also want to protect the system state of this computer, you must add the System State as a member of the protection group separately.	No action required.
140	The network bandwidth usage throttling rate must be between 1 and 10000 Mbps.	Specify a valid value.
141	Cannot perform <InputParameterTag> because the replica is not idle.	Wait for the ongoing job to complete or cancel the job.
143	If you use DPM to protect data on NETLOGON or SYSVOL shares on a domain controller, restoring the data using DPM will corrupt the domain controller's copy of the Active Directory Domain Services database.	No action required.
144	The backup frequency for long-term protection needs to be equal to or greater than the backup frequency for short-term protection. Backup frequency for short-term protection: <InputParameterTag>	No action required.
145	You cannot reduce the express full backup schedule because this would affect the long-term recovery goals of this protection group.	Before you can reduce the express full backup schedule of this protection group, you must modify the protection group properties to specify a backup frequency that is equal to or greater than weekly.
146	The specified protection group name is not valid. A protection group name must be between 1 and 64 characters, with at least one alphabet letter.	Specify a valid name.
147	To view the protected computers, you need to enable protection of these computers.	Enable protection.
148	You have chosen to protect replicas on another DPM server (primary DPM server).	We recommend that you protect the DPM database (DPMDB) of the primary DPM server along with the replicas. Without protecting the DPMDB, you will not be able to recover the replicas of the primary DPM server in case of a disaster where the DPMDB and the replicas are lost.
149	You have specified the change journal size on volume <VolumeName> for <ServerName> to be set to <ValueEntered> . However, this is greater than the available space on the selected computer.	Free space on the volume on the protected computer, and then retry the task.
150	You are trying to protect replicas on a primary DPM server. File exclusions will not apply to these replicas, but they will apply to all other protection group members.	No action required.
151	The size and used disk space information for VolumeName on ServerName could not be retrieved. Disk space cannot be allocated to protect data on this volume until this information is retrieved. Do you want to retry?	Retry the action.
152	DPM data source cannot be added to the protection group because of existing settings.	Create a new protection group.
156	The ability to add members to this protection group is temporarily disabled while initial synchronization of one or more members occurs.	Either cancel the initial synchronization jobs for the members or wait until they complete.
157	DatasourceName cannot be added to protection because it is already a member of a protection group.	No action required.
158	ValueEntered is not a valid value. The maximum is MaximumSizeUnit .	Specify a valid value.
159	<ValueEntered> is not a valid value.	Specify a valid value.
160	<ValueEntered> does not meet the minimum allocation value of <OriginallyCalculatedValue> <Unit>.	Specify a valid value.
162	DPM can optimize its disk allocation recommendation by calculating the size of the selected data on VolumeName on ServerName . Do you want to proceed?	Proceed to optiimize.
164	<VolumeName> on <ServerName> does not meet the minimum size requirement of 1 GB.	Don't select the volume.
168	The replicas for one or more of the volumes being protected are missing. This may be a result of one or more disks in the DPM storage pool being offline or the deletion of volumes created by DPM to store the replicas. You cannot modify disk allocation or configure protection for any members on these volumes until the replicas have been reallocated.	Click Review Pending Member s in the protection group, and allocate disk space for protection.
169	Although you chose to retain the replica for this previously protected volume, the replica is now missing from the DPM server. Either the volume used to store the replica has been deleted from the storage pool, or the disk on which the replica was stored cannot be detected. You cannot protect this previously protected volume until you delete the record of this replica from DPM.	Select the relevant member in the protection group and click Remove inactive protectio n. Ensure that the setting Delete replica on dis k is selected.
171	There is insufficient space on the storage pool disks to allocate the replica and recovery point volumes.	This error can occur when you attempt to stop bare metal recovery (BMR) for a protection group. By default, when you stop only BMR, DPM tries to convert BMR protection to System State protection, which requires more space for system backup than BMR. If available space is not sufficient to convert to System State protection, you will receive this error. If you stop BMR protection to gain more disk space, select Stop protection of member for both Bare Metal Recovery and System State
172	The inputs are not valid for custom scheme.	No action required.
173	You cannot protect the selected database now.This database is already selected for protection as part of Windows SharePoint Services protection to which the database belongs.	If you want to protect only this database, then you have to remove the Windows SharePoint Services farm from protection.
174	You cannot protect the selected Windows SharePoint Services data now. Some of the databases which are components of the Windows SharePoint Services farm have already been selected for protection.	If you want to protect this Windows SharePoint Services data, then you have to remove the databases from protection.
175	Existing volumes do not meet the size requirements for replica and recovery point volumes for <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> .	Either use the DPM storage pool disks for protection or create volumes that are adequately sized. DPM will not use any volumes in which either operating system or DPM component are installed.
176	DPM failed to use the volume <VolumeLabel> to create the replica because it is not adequately sized.	Volumes to be used for the replica should be greater than <MinimumSize> GB.
177	DPM failed to use the volume <VolumeLabel> to create the recovery point volume because it is not adequately sized.	Volumes to be used for storing recovery points should be greater than <MinimumSize> GB.
178	DPM failed to use volume <VolumeLabel> since this has already been selected to protect <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> .	No action required.
179	DPM cannot resize volumes <VolumeLabel> and <VolumeLabel> , which are being used to protect <DatasourceType><DatasourceName> on <ServerName> because these are custom volumes.	Use Disk Management to resize your volumes.
180	Failure to allocate disk space to the storage pool for storing the replica and the recovery points for <VolumeName> on <ServerName> . No protection will be initiated for <VolumeName> on <ServerName> until disk space has been allocated to the storage pool.	Select Review Pending Members for a protection group, and allocate disk space for protection.
181	DPM could not create <ProtectedGroup> because of failed disk allocations.	Refer to the allocation errors listed below, and then try to create the protection group again.
182	Eseutil consistency check cannot be performed for this protection group, because Eseutil.exe is not present on the DPM server.	Copy the Ese.dll and Eseutil.exe files from the Exchange Server installation folder to <FolderPath> on the DPM server. You can also choose not to run an Eseutil consistency check for this protection group by clearing the Run Eseutil Consistency check option. However, we do not recommend this because it does not ensure the recoverability of the protected data.
183	Select a single item for creating a recovery point on disk. You have currently selected multiple items in the list view.	No action required.
184	Cannot create a recovery point for the application data source because protection is stopped.	No action required.
185	There was a failure during recovery point consolidation.	Locate the relevant alert and resolve the issue. Then retry recovery.
192	The requested operation could not be completed because the replica was in an inconsistent state.	Run a consistency check, and then retry the operation.
195	Your changes cannot be applied because the protection group properties have changed. The protection group properties could have changed due to either of the following reasons: An auto discovery job ran and modified the properties of this protection group. Another user is using DPM Administrator Console to modify the properties of this protection group.	Retry the operation.
199	DPM was unable to protect the members in the resource group <ObjectName> . This resource group contains resources that have dependencies that are not part of this resource group.	Check your cluster configuration to ensure that the shares and the hard disks on which the shares reside are part of the same resource group. Check your cluster configuration to ensure that the application and the hard disks that it requires are part of the same resource group.
200	DPM could not perform the requested action on the selected items.This might be because one or more of the selected items or a property associated with the selected items has changed, which prevents the requested action.	Retry the operation.

If it is, in the Management task area, click the Libraries tab, select this tape, and then, in the Actions pane, click Mark as cleaning tape .
25017	DPM could not access drive <DriveName> because another application is currently using it.	Wait until the other application to finish using the drive, or stop the other application.
25018	The cleaner media in <MediaLocationType> <MediaLocationInfo> has expired.	Change the cleaning tape, and then run the cleaning job again.
30089	Operation failed on <TargetedServerName> as an unsupported Single Instance Store (SIS) file <FileName> was found on the source volume.	To resolve this error, either change the file attributes or recover the entire virtual machine.
30101	DPM encountered a critical error while performing an I/O operation on the tape <Media Label> (Barcode - <Media Barcode> ) in <Media Location Type> <Media Location Info> .	To resolve this error, do the following: Download and install the latest driver and firmware updates from the tape drive vendor. Many tape drive vendors also offer utilities that you can use to diagnose hardware problems. Clean and service the tape drive. Modify the TapeSize registry value to match your tape size When a tape reaches the end, some drivers incorrectly return a Device I/O error code instead of an End of tape reached code. To resolve this error, modify the value of the following registry key to match your tape size. Caution Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. These problems could require you to reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. Always make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it, and that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

30111	The VSS application writer or the VSS provider is in a bad state. Either it was already in a bad state or it entered a bad state during the current operation.	Ensure that the required licenses are installed on the server, and then retry the backup.
30112	DPM encountered a retryable VSS error.	Depending on which situation you were in when you encountered this error, the following sections describe how to resolve this error. Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) error on a virtual machine To resolve this error in this situation, do one or more of the following: Ensure that the version of the Integration Components package on the virtual machine is up-to-date. On the host for the virtual machine, open Server Manager, expand Roles , click Hyper-V , and then in the Events list in the Summary area, look for a warning that the Integration Components package must be updated. Ensure that all the writers on the virtual machine are in a stable state. On the virtual machine, open an elevated Command Prompt window, type vssadmin list writers , and then press ENTER. Ensure that there are no unresolved VSS errors on the virtual machine. On the virtual machine, open Server Manager, expand Diagnostics , expand Event Viewer , expand Windows Logs , and then click Application . Resolve any VSS errors that you find. Expand Diagnostics , expand Windows Logs , and then review the Application and System events for resolution steps. Expand Roles , click Hyper-V , and then, in the Summary area, review the Events list for resolution steps. Creating a recovery point by using incremental backup for a computer that is running Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007, or Exchange 2003 Circular logging might be enabled on this data source. DPM 2010 does not support incremental backups for a computer that is running Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007, or Exchange 2003 on which Circular Logging is enabled. To resolve this error in this situation, clear the Circular Logging check box, and then try to create the recovery point again. The next incremental backup fails when an incremental backup is performed after you run ntbackup on the storage group. Create a DPM full recovery point before performing an incremental backup.
30140	DPM tried to do a SQL log backup, either as part of a backup job or a recovery to latest point in time job. The SQL log backup job has detected a discontinuity in the SQL log chain for <DatasourceType> database <DatasourceName> since the last backup. All incremental backup jobs will fail until an express full backup runs.	For backup failures If you see this failure as part of a backup job, then in the Protection task area, select the SQL Server database and click Create recovery point. Choose express full backup. Alternately, you can wait for the next scheduled express full backup to run. For recovery failures If this failure occurs as part of a recovery job, then try to recover from another point in time. Review the Application Event Viewer logs on the computer running SQL Server for more details. Ensure that this database is not already protected by another backup application.
30146	Data consistency verification check failed for <ObjectName> of <DatasourceType> <DatasourceName> on <ServerName>.	If you have recently upgraded your Exchange server, copy them from that server to the DPM server. Contact your Exchange server administrator, and then verify the issue. You can recover the last known good backup to address the corrupted state.
30169	The operation failed for <DatasourceType> <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> because the data source is not available.	To troubleshoot this issue, verify the following The data source is online. The data source is not in a restoring state. The application VSS writer is running. The data source is accessible. The data source is not missing. If the data source is a member of a SharePoint farm, verify it still exists in the SharePoint farm configuration. For more information on this error, go to Hyper-V Protection Issues (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=132612).
30173	Execution of SQL command failed for <DatasourceType> <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> with reason: <Reason>.	Check the Application Event Viewer logs on the SQL Server for entries posted by the SQL Server service to find out why the SQL command may have failed. For more details, look at the SQL Server error logs.
30184	DPM cannot continue protection for <DatasourceType> <DatasourceName> on <ServerName>.	In the Monitoring task area, resolve the "Unable to configure protection" alert for this data source, and then click the link below to retry the job.
30195	DPM has run out of free space on the recovery point volume and will fail synchronization for <DatasourceName> on <ServerName> in order to prevent existing recovery points from being deleted.	Ensure there are no pending recovery point volume threshold alerts active for this data source and rerun the job. DPM may have automatically grown the volume and resolved the alerts.
30214	DPM failed to create the backup. If you are backing up only System State, verify if there is enough free space on the protected computer to store the System State backup. On protected computers running Windows Server2008, verify that Windows Server Backup (WSB) is installed and that it is not performing any other backup or recovery task.	You can see the errors reported by WSB in the Eventlog on the protected computer. For resolution actions and more information on these errors, go to Backup Operations (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734488(WS.10).aspx).
30216	Windows Server Backup can truncate Exchange and SQL Server logs being protected by DPM.	To resolve this error, do the following: If you use Windows Server Backup to back up a volume, only do so by using the Backup Once Wizard. If you use the Backup Schedule Wizard to perform scheduled backups, ensure that the volumes that are being protected by DPM do not contain application data such as Exchange Server mailbox stores or SQL Server databases. Reconfigure Windows Server Backup. Then, in DPM Administrator Console, in the Protection task area, select the volume, click Create recovery point , and then, in the Actions pane, click Express full backup .
30229	DPM cannot create a backup because Windows Server Backup (WSB) on the protected computer encountered an error (WSB Event ID: <WindowsBackupEventID>, WSB Error Code: <WindowsBackupErrorCode>).	For resolution actions and more information on the WSB error, go to Backup Operations (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734488(WS.10).aspx).
30290	Failure occurred while adding one or more of the volumes involved in backup operation to snapshot set. Please check the event log on <ServerName> to troubleshoot the issue.	To resolve this error, ensure that the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) credentials needed to create hardware snapshots are correctly configured on the host computer that is running Hyper-V. For additional information, refer to the documentation from your VSS hardware provider vendor.
