    Any one with any experience with DPM 2007 here? I'm having some trouble regarding Disk to Tape backups.

    I'm hoping to implement this in the next few weeks. Initially I won't be using tape, just disk to disk on another remote DPM server.

    How have your experiences been with DPM (aside form the tape issue)?

    Indifferent....... if you are all microsoft shop i'd recommend it, Were currently using it to backup file servers, MS SQL, Exchange, and sharepoint... So all are backups are consolidated and can be easily managed... if management are fussy on reports and that, theres great OTB reporting... all the flashing pie/bar charts etc.

    Getting it set up initially is a bit of a pain, each server your protecting needs its own software agent, which requires you to reboot the machine (twice sometimes)..... then you discover the agent is not being picked up by DPM... reinstall-more reboots.. not good for LOB and production servers.

    Once its in place its fairly reliable, the catalog error's I was receiving dont seem to be that common (from trawling the net looking for answers)

    I resolved it by erasing the last tape set and using them for the next backup.

    Hope this helps
