### To protect a SharePoint farm
44
-

-
1. From the **Protection** tab of the DPM Administrator Console, click **New**.
2. On the **Select Protection Group Type** page of the **Create New Protection Group** wizard, select **Servers**, and then click **Next**.

-
> With the DPM agent installed, you can see the server in the wizard. DPM also shows its structure. Because you ran ConfigureSharePoint.exe, DPM communicates with the SharePoint VSS Writer service and its corresponding SQL Server databases and recognizes the SharePoint farm structure, the associated content databases, and any corresponding items.

5. On the **Specify Short-Term Goals** page, select your preferred **Retention range** and identify when you want backups to occur.
> Because recovery is most often required for data that's less than five days old, we selected a retention range of five days on disk and ensured that the backup happens during non-production hours, for this example.

6. Review the storage pool disk space allocated for the protection group, and click then **Next**.

7. For every protection group, DPM allocates disk space to store and manage replicas. At this point, DPM must create a copy of the selected data. Select how and when you want the replica created, and then click **Next**.
> To make sure that network traffic is not effected, select a time outside production hours.

8. DPM ensures data integrity by performing consistency checks on the replica. There are two available options. You can define a schedule to run consistency checks, or DPM can run consistency checks automatically on the replica whenever it becomes inconsistent. Select your preferred option, and then click **Next**.

To monitor the backup job, follow the instructions in [Montioring DPM backup](https://docs.microsoft.com/system-center/dpm/back-up-sharepoint?view=sc-dpm-2019#monitoring)
> DPM provides a maximum of two daily backups to Azure at different times. Azure Backup can also control the amount of WAN bandwidth that can be used for backups in peak and off-peak hours by using [Azure Backup Network Throttling](backup-windows-with-mars-agent.md#enable-network-throttling).

11. Depending on the backup schedule that you selected, on the **Specify Online Retention Policy** page, select the retention policy for daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly backup points.
> DPM uses a grandfather-father-son retention scheme in which a different retention policy can be chosen for different backup points.

12. Similar to disk, an initial reference point replica needs to be created in Azure. Select your preferred option to create an initial backup copy to Azure, and then click **Next**.
13. Review your selected settings on the **Summary** page, and then click **Create Group**. You will see a success message after the protection group has been created.
