DPM compatible Tape libraries
Parag Agrawal [MSFT] Friday, August 06, 2010 10:24 AM· The guidance we're giving customers is if the tape library or standalone tape drive is listed on the Windows server catalog under the hardware / storage section and shows compatible with Windows 2008 X64, then it should work fine with DPM 2010.
