Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 9:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: MS DPM This is because DPM is intended to be run on a dedicated server. The designers could not imagine that someone would "waste" a data-center license for a dedicated DPM server. Regards, Michael B.

Why it will work on lesser versions but not the top of the line is really is beyond me but I had to restructure my deployment because of this - thank god for VMWare! John W.

Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 8:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: MS DPM (tongue in cheek) With all that information, I'll give you a definite: maybe. If you can see it on a Windows server, then DPM can "recognize" it. That doesn't mean that DPM will be able to do anything other than a normal non-smart backup to it, if it doesn't support either open file agents or VSS. Regards, Michael B.

It doesn't have a MS OS.
