To backup any resource you need to create a protection group.

This should launch the Create New Protection Group Wizard.  Click on next.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4<br \/>\nIn the Select Group Members window, click on the server you wish to backup.  Select the folders or database you want to backup.  Then click on next to continue.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5<br \/>\nIn the Select Data Protection Method, enter the Protection group name.  I would recommend naming it something that makes sense, such as the name of the server being backed up.<\/p>\n<p>There are two options for the protection method.  \u201cI want short-term protection using: Disk or tape\u201d  and \u201cI want long-term protection using tape\u201d.  In this example select the first option and click on next.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6<br \/>\nIn the Specify Short-Term Goals screen, change the retention range to the amount of days you want.  you can also specify the synchronication frequency or accept the default of 24 hours. Click on next.<\/p>\n<p>Step 7<br \/>\nDPM 2007 will automatically calculate the optimal disk allocation size, but you can also modify it.

Upon successful creation of the group click on close.<\/p>\n<p>You should now see the new Protection Group you just created.
