If DPM is your thing then Chris's dive in to backing up and restoring SharePoint should certainly spin your wheels :-)

Chris Whitehead, who is a Premier Field Engineer for SharePoint in the UK and a fan of DPM, recently posted a series of blogs on SharePoint and DPM.

One of the things that we like about Chris is that he has a different point of view. 

- We in the DPM team think about “backing stuff up” … and what is necessary to protect each workload, such as SharePoint.

- Chris thinks about SharePoint … how to deploy it, how to manage it, how to troubleshoot it, and how to back it up.

Chris’ perspective has helped us build a better protection and recovery experience for SharePoint, and hopefully his blogs will help you too.
