DPM upgrade route

[Jonathon]

Hello,

I'm currently running DPM 2007 SP1 on a Server 2003 R2 SP2 Machine, we have
a number of Hyper-V Virtual Servers running with CSVs which I would like to
protect so I'm keen to upgrade to DPM 2010 when it reaches RTM.

I'd like to do this without loosing all of my current backup data so my
question is;
What is the supported upgrate route to go from DPM 2007 SP1 on Server 2003
R2 SP2 to DPM 2010 on Server 2008?

Many thanks,
Jonathon

You can upgrade DPM 2007 to DPM 2010 without any issues. Download the DPM
2010 documentation from the following location:

https://connect.microsoft.com/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?SiteID=840&DownloadID=22070

and go to "Upgrading to DPM 2010 Beta" section

I have no plans yet to upgrade to dpm 2010 , but i would like to check.

dpm 2010 only runs on 64 bit servers only ?

That is correct. You need a 64 bit server to install DPM 2010.

Good blog on it.

However in your dpm 2007 , i assume you already run the 64bit host.

For me i m still running dpm 2007 32bit, thus it will be a NEW installation
for our end.

We will wait RTM completely.

Yes. I was already using 64 bit.

Is there a way to upgrade to server 2008 r2 and dpm 2010 at the same time
without loosing data?

Thanks,
