DPM 2007 SP1 released

Microsoft has just released DPM 2007 SP1 (Version 2.0.8793.0…released on 12/19/2008). You can find the update here along with other information pertaining to the update. Notable fixes/changes in SP1 include:

  • Protection for Hyper-V
  • Enhanced support for Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server (MOSS)
  • Support for Exchange Server Standby Continuous Replication
  • Support for Mirrored SQL server databases
  • Support for Cross-forest Data Protection with a Two-way trust
  • Support for migrating DPM servers and data sources

…along with a slew of other stuff. NOTE: This update will require a reboot of your DPM server and protected clients. Clients can continue backing up normally without a reboot (however the agents MUST BE UPDATED before snapshots can continue), however you should schedule time to perform this soon after updating your agents to avoid issues.

One of the most exciting features of SP1 is direct protection of Hyper-V. Here is a video from TechNet discussing this particular feature:
