Not sure about comparisons, but migrated us from Backup Exec to DPM back in 2007 and haven't looked back. Our estate looks as follows: HQ - Main datacentre with DPM secondary server with tape backup (D2D2T) Depot site - Primary DPM server with NetApp SAN for storage (D2D) Sites are connected by 100Mbs leased line. Currently backing up 25 servers to varying levels The live backups are streamed from the live servers at the HQ to the DPM server at the Depot site, with throttling this doesn't have any impact on live services (including VoIP). The tape backups are then performed at the HQ on the secondary server from the primary backup server (which is offsite, at the depot). With this we keep the tape backups onsite as the primary backups are offsite (awaiting someone to shoot this down in flames). As we are a pure MSFT estate it runs like a charm, SQL, Exchange, Lync, File Servers. All been backed up and successful test and real restores performed. Also we successfully performed a full DR test by taking just the DPM server and the offsite DC and then managing to restore all services. I've migrated us from DPM 2007 to DPM 2010 which was the same as the Exchange upgrades (new hardware and swing over), all very painless. All this being said - YMMV.

That's Data Protection Manager.... Any experiences are welcome. Do you like it? Hate it? How big is your deployment? Any field servers involved? How does it compare to Netbackup and/or CommVault? (those are the other two I'm personally familiar with) Thanks, Joe ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ This message has been scanned by MimeCast on behalf of Freebridge Community Housing and found to be free of viruses and not SPAM.
