This recipe will cover an introduction to how you can start to protect your SQL Server AlwaysOn configuration using DPM.
In your SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn configuration, you will add your database to something called Availability Groups, which are basically containers for your databases that are configured for failover. DPM will protect your databases that are part of your Availability Group.
DPM will detect the Availability Group when you are creating or modifying a new or existing Protection Group. If the database that is a member of the Availability Group fails over, DPM will continue to protect the database. You may encounter the replica for the Availability Group becoming inconsistent and you may need to perform a consistency check.
If you have a multisite cluster configuration for an instance of your SQL Server, DPM will support the protection of the workload.
