Data Protection Manager Central Console

Microsoft have released a new Hotfix for Data Protection Manager 2010 which allows multiple systems to be managed by a central Data Protection Manger 2012 console. This update effectively extends the new Centralised Management Features from Data Protection Manger 2012 back to DPM 2010.

This interoperability patch enables your System Center Data Protection Manager (SCDPM) 2010 servers to be centrally managed using the Central Console feature available with SCDPM 2012.
