DP 6.0 and Windows Server 2008 client

[Pelzer]

I Cannot find anything about DP 6.0 and Windows Server 2008. We want to know if there´s a soulution from HP to backup a Windows 2008 Server.

An waiting for the next release 6.1 is not really a solution...

Maybe somebody from HP knows more ???

thank you very much....

I don't know about DP6.
I'm using DPX and it's not compatible with WS2k8 yet either.
As a temp. measure I'm running the WS2k8 backup program to save the system volume and system state to disk.
DPX can backup everything except the Windows folder, so I include the saved state.
Recovery will require an extra step, but it's better than nothing though.

WindowsServer2008 is not supported on DP6.0.
There is some way to backup win2008 clients if you change in the configuration file
( wNT5.0 S to wNT6.0s)BUT is not recommended.
WinServer2008 both as CM and as clint works fine in DP6.1(tested)
