  Hi all :

System protection aims to protect you against two scenarios – one where your computer starts, but you have lost system files and registry; and the other where the computer does not start and you have to recover everything. System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) enables you to protect your computer against both these scenarios.

In the past, disaster recovery entailed rebuilding a computer from scratch. This meant installing the operating system, applying updates, installing applications, and then finally recovering data. This was a laborious and error-prone method. DPM saves you the time and trouble of rebuilding your system.

In DPM, System State protection consists of protecting the operating system files, and bare metal recovery (BMR) protection consists of protecting the operating system files and all data except user data on critical volumes.

DPM uses Windows Server Backup (WSB) to perform System State backup and BMR backup. For recovery, DPM will retrieve the backups and you will use the backup data to perform recovery by using WSB.

Prerequisites

Unsupported Scenarios

The following scenarios are not supported for BMR:

   In this document , i will show you how to using SCDPM 2010 BMR feature to recovery OS .

   Enjoy!

    Hi 各位：

    System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Beta2 终于在官方发布了，相信很多System Center的Fans都希望尽快了解SCCM 2012 Beta2的新特性。

    微软也直接提供了下载链接，您可以通过该地址进行下载并试用：

    英文版：http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=4da60258-5e61-4d16-8fae-d3c9fccf56dc

    中文版：https://connect.microsoft.com/ConfigurationManagervnext/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=34986

    您可以在注册后下载该测试版，并在评估环境中测试。SCCM 2012 Beta2要比去年发布的Beta1有了很大的变化，部署更为简单。

    以前我们在部署SCCM 2007时最困难的步骤就是证书配置，因为Native Mode必须需要证书，而且要配置三个证书。而SCCM 2012虽然已经没有Native Mode和Mixed Mode的实质区别，但如果要考虑安全性，则仍然需要配置证书，而现在简单很多，您只需要配置IIS所需要的Web服务器证书和客户端证书即可，以前的服务器签名证书已经不再需求，部署也就顺利很多了。

    在此我来介绍一下SCCM 2012 Beta2的主要安装过程：

    在安装选项的开始，我们可以根据需求来选择是部署Primary Site Server还是部署CAS（Central Administration Site）。以前可以被直接选择的Secondary Site已经消失，如果希望部署Secondary Site则需要通过SCCM Console来实现。

    而站点配置方面仍然和2007一致

       如果先前设置中选择的是部署Primary Site，则在此可以选择是部署独立的Primary Site还是和已经存在的层次化结构关联

       在Client Computer Communication  Settings页中就类似于SCCM 2007部署过程中选择站点模式的过程，但在此我们可以选择是全局都启用安全加密的链接方式（HTTPS），还是每个站点角色单独启用加密连接方式

      如果选择了前者，则在该页中默认被启用的MP和DP将强制使用HTTPS协议，如果使用上图中的后者，则在此可以选择协议是HTTPS还是HTTP

      随后的配置过程与2007大同小异，直接完成安装即可。安装过程差不多需要20-35分钟

        安装完成后在SCCM 2012管理控制台中，还可以根据需求手工设置站点安全性

      而SCCM 2012 Beta2的界面也和SCCM 2007系列和SCCM 2012 Beta1的界面有了很大变化，加入了Ribbon风格，而且功能结构更标准化，与SCOM、SCVMM和SCSM的界面统一了风格。未来只期待SCDPM v.Next风格统一了。

     更多新的内容，在后续的介绍中还会陆续奉献给各位。

   Enjoy！
