DPM 2010 as a virtual server

We're deciding to run DPM 2012 on as a virtual server (running on Windows Server 2012 and as a VMware 5.5 VM)

My question is:

When presenting storage to DPM 2012, is it better to use a VFS datastore or a RDM (Raw Device Mapping)?

I can't seem to find any best-practice articles about this, so I'm asking if anyone has any experience or feedback about this.

Thanks!

(P.S. I'm using SATA attached storage devices in my Vsphere 5.5 cluster)

Hi,

the Main important Thing is, to present the Storage as a local Disk on the OS.

As for HyperV, RDM Drives will not allow the VM to Live Migrate, if so in VMware would use the better solution.
