DPM backup replica instead of original VM

Hello,

I have this situation:

1. Several standalone (no cluster) production Hyper-V server with VM's on it. Lets call them original VM's. 

2. Backup server, with Hyper-V role on it. One VM on this server is DPM. And on this server is target for VM replication of original VM's (replica VMs)

DPM is configured with VMM for support for live migration. 

I configure DPM to protect original VM. But if there is replication of VM on backup server, backup job fails with error that there is no DPM agent on backup server. If I install DPM agent on backup server - it back up not the original VM, but replicated VM.

One workaround is to uninstall VMM agent on backup server, but i need real solution.

How to tell DPM that it should backup original VM, but not the replica ?

There was news, that this bug is fixed in UR7.

it is NOT fixed. DPM starts to backup replica VM's instead of original and with UR7 it fails to backup replica. 

After DPM have tried to backup replica and failed, i have to go to modify protection group properties, refresh all data sources and hit cancel in the modify protection group wizard.

After this procedure i run Consistency check and DPM back ups original VMs.

The second recovery point DPM again ties to backup replica and again it fails...
