I am taking notes as i am doing my upgrade  to help any one who may have issues along the way. Make sure windows is updated completely Make sure you are doing your upgrade in the right order of SC products http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj628203.aspx Before upgrading you will need Update Rollup 3 for DPM, you can get it here If you dont know if you have it, open you DPM console and click [ABOUT DPM] you will get a Version : 4.0.1920.0 (correct version) if any other version upgrade http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4058.list-of-build-numbers-for-system-center-data-protection-manager-dpm.aspx after the upgrade you will have to resync all your protection groups, If you did any modifications to the database you will re do it, IE: suspect tape removal, or Over due tape removal. Since im already upgraded i can move forward. Quick notes about my setup:  Single server : 2008 R2  SQL: 2008 R2 SP1  8GB memory  Dual Intel
