Some of the new features for DPM 2010 include:

• DPM 2010 automatically GROWS volumes as required.
• DPM 2010 allows you to shrink volumes so your space is used effectively.
• SUPPORT for system protection of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
• Exchange Server 2010 databases now appear within the Database Availability Group (DAG) after creating a new protection group.

Improved Windows SharePoint support for the following:

• Restoring individual SharePoint list items.
• Parallel backups of databases that are on the same instance of SQL Server 2005 in a SharePoint farm.
• SharePoint list item SEARCH RECOVERY. NOTE that you can now perform a search based on the title of the list item.
• SharePoint tape backup.

In DPM 2010, DPM takes the last valid backup at the database level, and then copies the backup to tape. This process creates a complete recovery point for the SharePoint farm. In previous releases, the latest farm level recovery point was backed up to tape, and might not have included all of the databases causing the copy-to-tape operation to be incomplete.

Recovery of items in a SharePoint farm using host-headers.
