System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 supports the protection of front-end Web server computers of a SharePoint farm that are deployed on either physical computers or on virtualized environments such as Hyper-V.

Front-End Web Server Running on Hyper-V Virtual Machine

With DPM, you can perform backup and recovery of virtual machines that are running on Hyper-V. For more information about how to protect Hyper-V virtual machines, see Protecting Hyper-V Machines and Recovering Hyper-V Data. If the front-end Web server of a SharePoint farm is on a computer that is running on any other virtualization technology, you can protect it just as you would a physical computer.

Front-End Web Server Running on Physical Computer

With DPM, you can perform backup and recovery of physical computers by using Bare Metal Recovery (BMR). For more information, see Setting Up BMR Protection and Recovering BMR.
