Still waiting for more positive news on long term backup on disk. We cannot even consider this software without this feature, which is a shame.

Not having the option to do long term protection to disk is a killer. Doesn't make sence to invest in a tape library for that when disk is so cheap.

Will DPM 2012 overcome the 600 partition issue? were have 10+ DPM servers to backup a large number of very small SQL databases, when really disk space wise they should be able to fit onto one DPM server.

Tripple chaining, or long term to disk would be a great asset to a good and solid product.

Mike/JayareIL,

Understood importance of adding longterm backup to disk is an important feature request from customer perspective. DPM team will take a look at this issue.

One more question, will I be able to protect my NFS shares on a SAN?

@JayareIL, I'm amazed also. They have D2D2T, D2D2C, but not long term protection to disks. WHY??? Hard drive storage is SO cheap.

As for ESXi guests, I'm hoping one day they will add this. DPM is already an amazing prodcut, but adding thise feature would make it the ULTIMATE backup solution.

"DPM 2012 do not allow longterm to disk."

It's amazing that this still isn't possible.
