• Windows Vista Business edition or better
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
• Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
• Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and SharePoint Server 2003, as SQL Server data sources
• Windows Virtual Server 2005 R2, for protecting virtual machines from the host

In addition, DPM 2007:

• Provides protection for System State
• Delivers Bare Metal Recovery, through the DPM System Recovery Tool (SRT)
• Enables Disaster Recovery with long distance, off-site data replication
