I called my rep at Zones (Dallas Burnworth, for those looking for a well knowledged and technically adept sales rep) and asked him about DPM. He said it was relativly new, I guess MS recently bought it? He said that they have a very close setup for licensing as Symantec. My Symantec BE is up for renewal < 30 days. Here's a couple questions for those with DPM... 1. MS states that min. required core server platform be Win2k3. Will it install run on Win2k? - I currently have my BE installed on a Win2k box that has 2 auto-loaders and an MD1000 with a boatload of storage. Our weekly backup of the fileserver alone comes in at 2TB. I really don't want to have another server doing the backup over the network, that will kill my current 10 hour run. 2. Any compatibility with my BE archived tapes?? Thanks, Jake Gardner TTC Network Administrator Ext. 246
