    I've been backing up a Win8.1 as a server for several months with DPM 2012, all of a sudden last week the DPM backup started failing on drive C. I have removed it from Protection removed all replicas for it, then uninstalled the DPM agent and reinstalled the agent. But when I tried creating a new Protection group it errors when setting up disk allocation saying "DPM cannot access the path C:\ because part of the path has been deleted or renamed". This DPM is backing up seven other Workstations and servers without a problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    This must be a DPM 2012 R2 server and volume guid for the protected server c: volume changed but DPM still has the original GUID cached.  While trying to add it back to protection, instead of expanding the server just highlight it, then press the "Refresh" button and that will update the dpmdb with valid information and allow the c: volume to be protected.

    Thank you I wish I had asked before I removed and reinstalled the DPM Agent!
