DPM_SYSTEM_STATE Folder DPM Client
You may see a folder called “DPM_SYSTEM_STATE” on a client machine that DPM backs up, and in it should be a file servername.bkf
This is to do with the system state backup that is done by DPM.
1. Locate PSDataSourceConfig.xml ( usually c:Program FilesMicrosoft Data Protection ManagerDPMDatasources )
2. Make a backup copy of this file ( not needed but is best practice )
3. Locate “FilesToProtect”
Should now show as <FilesToProtect>%SystemDrive%DPM_SYSTEM_STATE%computername%.bkf
Change to required path i.e. <FilesToProtectD:DPM_SYSTEM_STATE%computername%.bkf
4. On DPM Server Modify the protection group and run a consistency check.
5. You can now delete the current file and when the backup is ran again it will go to the new location.
