DPM 2010 and SharePoint

DPM 2010 is looking fairly interesting with SharePoint 2010.
Now, with SharePoint 2007 you needed a separate recovery server so that made three boxes involved in backups. (your running environment, your DPM and then your recovery farm). That's a lot of processor, memory and storage.
With SharePoint 2010 you don't need that extra recovery server. However, it's not all plain sailing. You do need all that DPM space: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2009/10/21/sharepoint-2010-granular-backup-restore-part-1.aspx and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2009/10/21/sharepoint-2010-granular-backup-restore-part-2.aspx you do have to use a lot of storage in the first place.
There's also some interesting stuff at www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/data-protection-manager/dpm-2010-overview.aspx so you can see all those steps that you need to go through.

It all begs the question as to why Microsoft still haven't got around to an AvePoint-like solution to do all this in a couple of clicks.
