Earlier today Microsoft announced the RTM release of System Center Data Protection Manager 2010.
Taken from the DPM website:
Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 is part of the System Center family of management products from Microsoft. It delivers unified data protection for Windows servers such as SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Virtualization and file servers — as well as Windows desktops and laptops.
- New in 2010 is the ability for roaming laptops to get centrally managed policies around desktop protection.
- Your laptop data will be protected whether you are connected to the corporate network or travelling on an airplane.
- DPM also provides native site-to-site replication for Disaster Recovery to either another DPM server or an off-site cloud provider.
- Centrally managed System State and Bare Metal Recovery are also new in DPM 2010.
DPM seamlessly uses disk, tape, and cloud-based repositories to deliver an easy-to-use and best-of-breed backup and recovery solution for Windows environments from Microsoft. Windows customers of all sizes can rely on Microsoft to provide a scalable and manageable protection solution that is cost-effective, secure, and reliable.

I am very enthusiastic about this product. Also its auto healing possibilities, auto growing, workgroup server protection!
Have had a lot of fun with the beta and RC version already.
Now lets back up everything!
