This Windows SharePoint Services Farm cannot be protected because DPM did not find any dependent databases and search indices to be protected. (ID: 32008)

"This Windows SharePoint Services Farm cannot be protected because DPM did not find any dependent databases and search indices to be protected. (ID: 32008)"



Error 1:-












Error 2:-















Error 3:-















Resolution:-
One of the common problem is because previously you have added sharepoint database (SQL) into the DPM protection group. You need to need to remove the MOSS database from the protection group. When you're adding sharepoint into the protection group, by the default DPM will use sharepoint writer to protect the database as well. So it advisable not to set sharepoint database into protection group.
