In this chapter, we looked at the type of backups that can be created for disaster recovery purposes. Ideally, SCDPM should be used for backing up the BMR state of the App Controller server and snapshot of SQL database if possible. The recovery process can become very flexible and efficient with disk-based short term backup on a DPM server.

For more instructions on BMR with Data Protection Manager, visit Pluralsight, which has a very good tutorial on Data Protection Manager. A sample of the tutorial can be found at http://blog.pluralsight.com/videos/scdpm-bare-metal-recovery.

This concludes the Learning System Center App Controller book by Packt Publishing. We hope you have enjoyed this book as much as we enjoyed writing it.
