Data Protection Manager 2007 – comparisons with other backup solutions for virtualized environments:
DPM does not require a SAN to snap and remount VHDs elsewhere – it can use DAS, or any other locally mounted disk on the Host, as well as the DPM server. DPM does not require 3rd party backup software, even after the VHD is secured – it is a complete solution on its own. DPM does not leave the VM dormant during the entire backup — if it has to hibernate the VM, it brings it down, snaps it, and brings it right back up again. But for most Windows guests, it can protect with no downtime at all! In fact, one can run DPM 2007 SP1 on the Hyper-V host itself, providing a self-contained solution. And because DPM can replicate from one DPM server to another (DPM-2-DPM-4-DR), you can easily replicate your VHDs off-site.
