    Hello Everyone,

    two week back, I had configured backup of two SQL servers on DPM with 7 and 30 days retention until  last week number of restore point was 7 but today only two restore points are available for file backup and three for SQL backup. I have verified the same from Recovery workspace in DPM console. Some issue is there.

    50% space is unused in DPM storage pool.

    Any idea why is it happened.

    Windows server 2016 with latest updates

    DPM version 2016 with UR5 (5.0.361.0)

    Hi Arun,

    Do you see anything out of the ordinary in the logs? What result do you get if you run the 
    Get-DPMRecoveryPoint PowerShell cmdlet?

    Also check the Recovery Point Status report under Reporting to compare the results.

    Best regards,
    Leon

    Has this worked before? Also what SQL Server version are you backing up?

    Do you see the same issue with other protected items?
