Microsoft Ships DPM 2010
Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, a comprehensive backup-and-recovery platform designed specifically for protecting Windows file and application servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual computers to local or off-site disks as well as off-line recording to magnetic tape, and enables rapid, easy restoration of whole computers or single files. DPM's hard disk backup provides the performance and reliability you need to preserve your critical business data without disrupting network operations, while DPM's mag tape support keeps long-term archiving expenses low and helps ensure compliance with contractual or legal data retention mandates.
Most small businesses continue to depend on obsolete, tape-based backup and recovery technology. In the event of a major system failure, this exposes them to significant income loss due to extended system unavailability and, in the worst case, lost data. Tape-only protection procedures are unreliable because the media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a carefully maintained physical environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure incidence when utilizing mag tape to archive their in-house production servers. Tape is also inherently slow. Consequently, backups require scheduled downtime, restoration points are often separated by days instead of minutes, and the restoration process is long and tricky.
DPM 2010 solves these shortcomings by using fast, dependable hard disks for short-term backup and restricting tape to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks permits ongoing non-disruptive backup, reduces restoration point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts restoration time. For improved disk system reliability, Data Protection Manager supports high availability disk clustering and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include support for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and CSV, the option to recover single files, DAG support for Exchange Server 2010, improved operation with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration process.
