  Hi,

  I have a question about DPM 2012 backup Workgroup server. I have some Windows
  Servers running 2012 that in workgroup and I want to use DPM 2012 to fully
  backup these server. However after install DPM agent successfully, the only
  option is backup System State and OS partition (not Bare Metal Recovery) as true
  as this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757801.aspx

  Now I have 2 options to backup & restore these server:

  1. Backup System State and file in DPM only, and to recovery: reinstall OS,
  applications and restore using System State, restore file if needed.

  2. Besides backup using DPM, I use Windows Server Backup to backup BMR weekly
  to DPM Server. To restore: restore BMR+ System state in DPM to the exactly
  time.

  Is it ok to use option 2 to recover faster? What's your opinion?

  Thanks.
