SCDPM can protect computers in workgroups and untrusted domains. You can handle authentication using NTLM or certificates. Using certificates over NTLM authentication is the preferred and recommended approach to ensure a high level of security. This recipe describes how to set up DPM protection with certificate-based authentication (CBA).
For CBA, DPM supports the following workloads, regardless of whether they are deployed in clustered or standalone deployments:
- SQL Server
- File Server
- Hyper-V
The following workloads are not supported for CBA when they are NOT in trusted domains:
- Exchange server
- Windows clients
- SharePoint server
- Bare metal recovery
- System State
- End user recovery of a file and SQL
