Installation instructions

This Data Protection Manager 2010 rollup package consists of three separate updates. To install each update, follow these steps:  

1. Install the rollup package on the server that is running Data Protection Manager 2010. To do this, run the DataProtectionManager2010-KB2250444.exe file on the server. 
   
   Note You must restart the Data Protection Manager server after you install this rollup package.
2. Update the remote Microsoft SQL Server installation that is hosting the DPMDB database. To do this, run the SqlPrep-KB2250444.msp file on the computer that is running SQL Server. 
   
   Note This step is not required if you are running a SQL Server DPMDB instance on the Data Protection Manager 2010 server.
3. In the DPM Administrator Console, update the protection agents. To do this, use one of the following methods.
