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.

Also leverage the DPM 2007 compatibility list, anything on this list should work on DPM2010 if they have Windows
2008 X64 drivers.
