DPM has been failing when creating recovery points of its own databases. I have been getting constant messages that the replica is inconsistent and recovery point creations are failing. Also I have a recent message that database auto-protection has failed for our DPM server.
When opening up SQL Server Management Studio to investigate the databases I am prompted with the message
"Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software please go to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy"
When doing the DPM 2010 install the option for the localized install of SQL was used. There should be no license issues since the copy came with DPM. We did the same thing with DPM 2007 and never had a problem. Why am I getting this message and is this what is causing DPM to fail on its database protection?
