DPM does look impressive and it was the next logical step after volume
shadow copies but I would like to abandon full backups against my prod
servers and do synthetic backups to tape instead from my backup to disk
location. Can I do that with DPM or do I give up functionality when
compared to BUE or CV?
I just received a rough quote for CV and it was scary. If I can
leverage DPM to accomplish the same thing for less $ I'd be very
interested to test it in my lab.

I'm currently looking at CV vs BUE (I currently use BUE9.1) and I'm

data but I want my prod backups to disk first. Why not stage to disk
first and then dupe to tape with BUE? Wouldn't you need the same
amount
of storage to do DPM anyway? Is there something about CV that handles
it better than BEU?
