It is possible that SharePoint (MOSS) could go down in history as one of the most popular enterprise content management systems ever (note: we aren’t saying the best, just the most popular).
This may happen even though out of the box the platform lacks some critical enterprise features. MOSS backup and recovery functionality is one good example of this.
Thanks to the partner community and other Microsoft technology teams, some of these crucial enterprise features are provided as add-ons and integrated services for MOSS.
In the case of backup and recovery, Microsoft, themselves, provide a viable solution, namely the System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 (DPM). With this doozy, your worst disaster recovery nightmares just might not come true.
