DPM 2007 supports 32-bit and x64-bit operating systems. DPM does not support ia64-bit operating systems.
• The server cannot be the Management Server for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
• DPM 2007 is designed to run on a dedicated, single-purpose server that cannot be either a domain controller or an application server.
• There is a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) non-paged pool limitation on x86 32-bit operating systems. If you are protecting more than 10 terabytes (TB) of data, the DPM server must be running on a 64-bit operating system. In addition, because VSS non-paged pool usage is based on the size of a single volume, we recommend that you do not protect a single volume larger than 4 TB of data on 32-bit operating systems.
The DPM server must be running one of the following operating systems:
• Windows Server 2008 (Standard and Enterprise Editions).
Important
• Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later.
• Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2 (Standard or Enterprise Editions).
• Windows Advanced Server 2003 with SP2 or later.
• Windows Storage Server 2003 with SP2 or later (Standard, Enterprise and Express Editions).
• Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 with SP2

Introduction of Data Protection Manager
System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 is a server software application that enables disk-based and tape-based data protection and recovery for computers in and across Active Directory domains. DPM performs replication, synchronization, and recovery point creation to provide reliable protection and rapid recovery of data both by system administrators and by end-users.
DPM is designed to run on servers running Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2, Windows Storage Server 2003 with SP2, and Windows Server 2008 operating system (pre-release version). DPM uses replication, the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) infrastructure, and a rich, policy-driven engine to provide businesses of all sizes with nearly continuous protection and rapid, reliable data recovery
