Microsoft Ships Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010
Microsoft has released System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, an advanced backup-and-recovery platform designed by Microsoft specifically for protecting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers on-going,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote hard disks plus off-line copying to magnetic tape, and enables rapid, simple-to-manage recovery of whole servers or single files. DPM's disk support delivers the performance and dependability you need to preserve your vital business data without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape compatibility makes long-term archiving expenses low and helps ensure compliance with industry or legal data retention requirements.
Many small businesses still rely on obsolete, tape-based backup and restore technology. In the event of a major IT breakdown, this exposes them to substantial revenue loss because of extended network downtime and, possibly, lost information. Tape-based backup solutions are vulnerable because the media is subject to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled physical environment. Microsoft recorded a whopping 17% failure rate when using tape to archive their own operational servers. Mag tape is also inherently low performance. Because of this, backups require periodic server downtime, restoration points are commonly spaced apart by days instead of minutes, and the restoration procedure is time consuming and hard to manage.
DPM gets around these problems by supporting high-performance, reliable hard disks for short-term backup and relegating tape to long-term archiving. The speed of disks allows ongoing transparent backup, reduces recovery point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts restoration time. For enhanced disk system dependability, DPM 2010 supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant storage arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to recover individual files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
