How do I read the DPM info in this case?
Monitoring says Failed but Protection shows Ok while having a Latest recovery point from last year.

Under Monitoring tab I have Failed for

Source                     | Computer     | Protection group | Start time
Computer\System Protection | MyServerName | Recovery point   | 2014-06-09 19:00:00

which shows me that something happened last night.

But under Protection tab everything is green.
Here I have

Protection group member            |                     | Protection status
Protection group ..name..
    Computer: MyServerName
        Computer\System protection   Bare metal recovery   OK
        ... Latest recovery point: 2013-12-12 06:32:54

My guess is that backup failed last night once, but succeeded later. It then found out that there hasn't been any change since sometime last year and leave it be and flags Ok.

backup of TFS with DPM 2007 - different backup times

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have DPM set up to back up my TFS server every 30 minutes, the reason being it's a way better interface than the quirky SQL backup interface. I also do a full backup nightly using an SQL maintenance job. My thinking is I would use DPM to restore my databases in case of losing my database and the… >>> More
