Windows 7 - Will DPM 2010 include Disk to Disk to USB Disk instead of tape?

In 2007 if I want to backup to usb for offsite I have to use a third party
program like Firestreamer to make the usb disk look like a Tape.
Will 2010 allow us to use usb drives or ESata drive for offsite storage?
This would be way cool since Tape can be very expensive for large data sets...
USB drives are cheap and again if goes bad get another one.

Thanks Dan for your feedback. We have been getting this request from our
customers but so far this is not in the list of DPM 2010 features. I will pass
on your feedback to the product group.

Thanks, I requested this in 2007 also. Maybe in the next SP or R2 canidate.
Would really help us smaller shops that only have about 10 servers and 100
workstations...
Tape Libraries are just too expensive and the Dat tapes are small.

I am working in an enviorement with around 100 Servers, a lot of them virtual.
Still we'd also like the support for USB devices, including long time backups
on USB devices. We use that with our current backup solution to bring the
backups to an other location.

Why go through the trouble / expense of getting an eSATA drive and an eSATA enclosure and then crippling the input / output by running through a USB port? - - Regards, Richard HD. peter Thanks Peter, yes I have everything running for SATA on the mobo, the eSATA port on the I / O shield is always active, according to the BIOS. I have an Asus P5Ne-SLI. Thanks in advance if you have a suggestion. I have used eSATA on XP without a problem, I even checked the WHQL and it approves my enclosure

eSATA & vista sp1 Windows 7 Hi All, Anybody having as I am problems with eSATA devices since installing SP1? My eSATA drives show in the BIOS boot screen but hangs on the Vista drivers loading bard just beyond on the black screen before the Windows logo.

I have looked in disk management in drive is not there. Any ideas folks?

Many modern motherboards it's entirely possible that all your installed drives are using the first, and your eSATA port is on the second. Hi & thanks, This is what I found delving into the
external eSata enclosure drive recognition? Windows 7 I just added an external eSata HD (in a Vantec enclosure) to my new Dell system, but it is only "recognized" after rebooting with it turned on FIRST. IOW, if the external eSata HD enclosure unit is OFF and I power up the computer, and then I turn on the external eSata HD enclosure, it isn't recognized (not properly recognized, but there at least is some on). The HD drive I put into the external enclosure was a new Western Digital eSata drive, and it has no jumpers, but maybe that's normal for Sata drives these the problem, as I checked it again. What is so weird is that the external eSata drive works fine (and is properly recognized in windows) IF I initially turn it on to be SOME way to narrow this pecularity down to being either 1) an external eSata HD enclosure problem, or 2) the eSata hard drive itself, or 3) a BIOS problem, or 4) a windows "communication" problem (in
Esata on Vista x64 Windows 7 I use an external esata enclosure. When I plug it into my laptop, Vista Ultimate x64 recognises the hotplugging and switch off. I have a Vista Ultimate x64 desktop using a motherboard without a built esata port. The enclosure came with an esata adapter plate that internally connects to a sata port on the motherboard. This works, but I switch it on later, Vista doesn't see it. I understood that sata eand esata were both hot pluggable, so I'm not sure why this is not working. Does the motherboard need a esata port to work with a esata based external hdd enclosure (to allow hotplug capability). I can purchase a PCI express card that provides an esata port, but I don't know if thats going to make a difference. Thanks for
