Data Protection Manager

[faza]

I have just installed Data Protection Manager 2007 on my server but when it comes to adding a storage pool it is not finding my disk. I have a 1TB drive in the server c:\ is O/S of 40Gb and tyhe rest is unallocated. Should it should work and i should be able to access the unallocated space and use it as a storage pool.

If the disk space is unallocated, then yes when in DPM you should be able to add it.

If you have made it a simple partition it will not work!!

If you still have a issue, PM me and I will give you some more detail.
