This recipe will cover the procedure to prepare a remote SQL server for hosting the DPMDB.
In the scenario where you build a large hosted DPM service solution delivering BaaS (Backup as a Service), RaaS (Restore as a Service), or DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) within your modern data center, you may want to use a dedicated backend SQL server that is either a standalone SQL server or a clustered one, for high availability.
Regardless of whether you put the DPMDB on a cluster or a backend standalone SQL server, you still need to perform some initial configurations prior to the actual DPM server installation.
