Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a powerful backup-and-restore platform designed by Microsoft specifically for protecting Windows servers and workstations. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of both physical and virtual systems to local or off-site hard disks as well as off-line recording to magnetic tape, and enables rapid, easy recovery of whole servers or single files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup provides the speed and reliability you need to preserve your vital business data without interrupting network operations, while DPM's tape drive compatibility keeps long-term archiving costs affordable and simplifies compliance with industry or legal data retention mandates.
Many small businesses still rely on outdated, tape-centric backup and restore technology. In the event of a serious system failure, this can lead to significant revenue loss because of prolonged system unavailability and, possibly, lost information. Tape-based backup procedures are vulnerable because the media is sensitive to mechanical wear and requires a carefully maintained physical environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure incidence when using tape to back up their in-house operational servers. Tape is also inherently low performance. Consequently, backup processes require scheduled downtime, restoration points are often spaced apart by days instead of minutes, and the restoration procedure is time consuming and tricky.
Data Protection Manager 2010 solves these problems by using high-performance, reliable disk systems for short-term backup and restricting tape to long-term archiving. The high performance of disks permits ongoing transparent backup, reduces restoration point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts recovery time. For improved disk system dependability, DPM supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant storage arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the option to recover individual files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
