DPM failed to protect SharePoint farm (ID 30200)
Two days ago , I was trying to protect our SharePoint Farm with DPM, however I got the following error
Prepare for backup operation for SharePoint Farm SharePoint Farm has been stopped because this operation deepened on on another backup operation which failed or was cancelled (ID 30200).
to solve this issue you need to Change the name of the SQL server in the configuration database from the fully qualified name (i.e. SharePointServerDB.IslamGomaa.com )to only the host name (SharePointServerDB).
to do so you need to use the STSAdm tools
stsadm -o renameserver -oldservername <oldServerName> -newservername <newServerName>
in my case the oldServerName = SharePointServerDB.IslamGomaa.com and the
newservername = SharePointServerDB.
so the command will be :
stsadm -o renameserver -oldservername SharepointServerDB.islamGomaa.com -newservername SharepointServerDB.
