To get the Windows Azure Backup integration to DPM to work after SP1 UR2 the following steps needs to be taking
Sign up for a WindowsAzure with a organization account then sign on to http://account.windowsazure.com
DPM needs to be at UR2 for this to work
At the home screen select “Account Center”
Select “Preview Features”
Select Backup and “try it now” screenshot says sign up again as I am signed up with my account , after that select manage
This will take you to the WindowsAzure portal , go to recovery services and Create a new Vault
For testing I made one in europe named systemcenterdemodk
After the backup vault have been created click the “name” of your vault to continue the setup
First step is to create and upload a certificate for authentication between the DPM server and the WindowsAzure storage
makecert from the sdk can be used to create the certificate
example makecert.exe -r -pe -n CN=systemcenterdemodk -ss my -sr localmachine -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2 -len 2048 -e 01/01/2016 CertificateName.cer
this create the certificate
and stores it on the local computer certificate store
Export the certificate
do not export the private key
Select DER encoded
and save the certificate
Back to the WindowsAzure portal and Manage Certificate
Browse and add the certificate and upload the certificate
After the certificate is uploaded , its time to download the backup agent
Select the backup agent for Data Protection Manager
Start the WABInstaller Windows Azure Backup for DPM
Select install paths
After installation open the Data Protection Manager Console
Under Management – > Azure select Register
Select the certificate where we uploaded the public cer file to the portal
Select from the local certificate store
Select the backup vault created earlier
Apply any throttle policy if needed , this is for testing so full power
For recovery the DPM Azure integration pack needs a staging area when recovering from the cloud to DPM , so a path locally on the DPM server that have free space is needed
Enter or generate a passphrase this will encrypt the data before copying it to WindowsAzure , do NOT loose the passphrase as you will be unable to recover the data stored in the Azure
And the integration is complete.
And we can se that the integration have changed status to Registered
