SC/DPM

SC/DPM supports that remote backups / restores the system disk of Guest
OS. This function supports rapid recovery of the system disk when failure has
occurred. Deploying management of guest OS (duplicate installation, network
installation of patches, and backups/restores) on the virtual server can be
managed same as the physical server. And physical/logical servers can be
managed with the same interface/procedure.
