Error 33119 trying to establish Secondary Protection

It has been a long time since we posted here. That's mostly because we rarely have major issues anymore since we decided to use Data Protection Manager instead of Backup Exec.

The reality is that in our experience... it just works.

However, we recently had a problem where our primary DPM Server at a site failed. Having rebuilt it, and gotten things going again, we had issues getting Secondary Protection to work again, with DPM throwing error 33119

After wondering what was happening, we found the answer pretty simple...

On the PRIMARY DPM Server...

Make sure "DPM Writer" and the "DPM Access Manager" services are running - for some reason the Primary server wasn't running those services (although was otherwise working) - a quick service start and they've been reunited and now work.
