We are working on implementing it, and running into difficulties. To be fair, we're installing it on a machine that also has UltraBac on it, but that is not (so far as we know) causing our problems.
One of the problems is that on the machine being backed up, you can't do a BMR backup if any of the partitions aren't NTFS, and we have several machines that have OEM partitions on them that are FAT32. Not sure what we're going to do about that. The other problem we've noticed and are trying to work through is that for some reason, two nights ago, the OS partition on the backup server filled with snapshots, and was non-responsive, and we had to force shutdown with the BRB. After it came up, the partition was not full - 90g free on a 143g partition - but the event log was littered with warnings and errors regarding NTFS and volsnap. Be aware that DPM wants complete control over the partitions it uses - to the point that you will not even format the partition to give it a drive letter. I don't have a problem with that, but it was unexpected. I'm not the one installing/configuring it, so can't comment further, except to say that we need to get off UB as quickly as possible - it's been a failure for us, and their support hasn't met our needs.
