It does't do SQL. In any form. It doesn't do JET. In any form.

So no Exchange. Or SQL. Or anything on top of MSDE - Sharepoint, for example - the supposed direction to go for organised working.

Or a million and one other things.

Remind me. What's the *point* of DPM again?

Hi Alan,

I'm the Storage Technology Arhitect for MS here in the UK. I understand what you're saying and it would have been great to support SQL, Exchnage and Sharepoint in this version of the product but it was a simple case of balancing time, resources and feature set which made it not possible. However these features are definitely planned for the next release of the product.

As for its use today, it gives you a very fast and cost effective rapid recovery product for user files in the event of deletion or other data loss. It complements exsisting tape based backup systems by providing the rapid recovery of data either user or admin driven at a very low cost point. We do have some cusomters using it to proctect smaller SQL and Echnage solutions where they backup to flat file and let DPM manage the file from there as an interim solution.

Would be happy to take it up with you offline if you want a more detailed discussion.
