Data Protection Manager "v2"

Jason Buffington presented a session on Sytem Center Data Protection Manager, codename "v2" this morning at the System Center Airlift. While DPM currently is at the Beta 1 milestone, Jason talked about the next development milestone, Beta 2. While he wouldn't comment on the final name, Techlog has reported late last year that it will probably be called Data Protection Manager 2008. Besides the current support for SQL and Exchange protection in Beta 1, the next milestone - Beta 2 - will bring the following:

Agent can be deployed using cmd line, Powershell cmdlet, SMS and SCCM and SUS

Manual seed for intial copy (for example: external HDD from remote location to DPM server)

Support for protecting servers across trusted domains

Media encryption support

File & folder exclusions, encrypted files

Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape support (along with D2D and D2T support)

Adding support for Virtual Server 2005 R2; this way you can protect non-Windows servers (as VM) !

Adding support for Sharepoint !

Adding support for System State & Bare Metal Recovery !

Support for database on a separate (existing) SQL server

Jason stated that beta 2 will be generally available at the Microsoft Management Summit 2007, held in San Diego. RTM is slated for early fall (end of Q3 ?).
