DPM 2006: FAQ updated

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for DPM 2006 has been updated. The refreshed document includes references to DPM 2006 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and also clarifies the guidance on the amount of data that can be protected by a single DPM server. The updated answer is as follows:

DPM has been tested successfully in our labs with a single DPM server protecting 30 servers with 6 terabytes (TB) of data. However, this is not a hard limit on what DPM can support in terms of capacity. Some customers are using a single DPM server to protect more than 10TB of data spread between 50 servers. The exact number of servers that can be protected by a single instance of DPM will vary with server configuration, network bandwidth and the data profile (distribution & churn).

(If you're interested, the previous answer was "DPM is designed to protect up to 6 terabytes of data, from as many as 30 file servers, on a single DPM server.")
