It would be fair to say DPM is proving to be far better than Backup Exec on most things, but occasionally there are some short sighted decisions or stupid issues that could have been better handled.
One small example is where you find System State and Bare Metal Recovery Replicas keep becoming inconsistent on a Windows 2008 system that's being backed up with DPM 2010.
The fix is pretty simple. On the 2008 server you're backing up, go to "Server Manager", load features, choose "Add Feature" and ensure "Windows Server Backup" is an allowed feature (this won't need a reboot).
Given DPM seems to check loads of other pre-requisites you'd expect it would either alert you to this at install time, or just enable it as part of the install (even if there was an option which said "If Windows Server Backup features are not enabled on the source for protection, enable it automatically" or something.
A silly oversight and one that just takes a tiny bit of the sparkle of clueful implementation away I think.
