System Centre Data Protection Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 is now available, and Jason just announced SP1 for DPM 2007 here:

Why SP1 for DPM 2007 is cool 

Here are some of the highlights for more information see the above link to Jason’s post.

  • Hyper-V is now protect-able!, the most requested feature from IT Pro's testing the beta bits - a lot of NZ customers using Hyper-V and looking for a Microsoft backup solution for their platform.
  • SQL Server now does 2008, can back up databases in parallel, and supports mirrored instances
  • Exchange can now be protected from the SCR node 

Here are some additional Resources on  Service Pack 1
