Hello,
We currently are running DPM 2012 and are purchasing DPM 2019. DPM 2012 is currently installed on a physical machine, but I would like to install DPM 2019 on a VM. I still consider myself a newbie on DPM, as my previous experience was with Veeam,
BackupExec, and other products that were... well, just easier to use. :-) We currently have some backup on a local SAN and some backup in the cloud.
The question has come up, "How will you migrate past restore points from the old server to the new one?" I don't have a good answer.
I'm also concerned with some of what I've read about backward compatibility. We still have some servers that are Server 2012 R2, which we will eventually upgrade but aren't ready yet. We also have an old ERP system on a Server 2008 VM that is
no longer used in Production, but we are still keeping around for occasional historical access. This machine will not be upgraded.
I would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer about charting a course forward.
Thanks,
Zachary Hamilton
