Size do matter…

Archiving to Azure is a great feature that Microsoft made possible a while back. With new technology also comes new challenges, one is when an online job stops working and how to troubleshoot that.

When DPM 2012 R2 creates a Online Recovery point its important that the Replica and the Recovery Point volume within the DPM disk pool is more than 3 GB in size. If not you will get the error ID 100034.

The way to solve this is really simple. Just increase the size of your Protected Item within the Protection Group and increase the size to more than 3GB and then rerun your Online job.
