We have a DPM 2007 (SP1) installed (database is local). We have installed the client on one of our DBDev servers, when we create the protection group we are able to see the following SQL databases for backup DEVDB (sql 2000 Build : 8.0.2055) DEVDB\DEV (sql 2000 Build : 8.0.2055) DEVDB\SQL2005 (SQL 2005) The issue we are having is there should be one more SQL 2000 instance DEVDB\IT (sql 2000 Build : 8.0.2055) I have confirmed security permission's and can verify the account has full access to everything required. Thanks
