Microsoft Introduces DPM 2010
Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a comprehensive backup-and-restore solution designed specifically for supporting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote disks plus off-line recording to tape, and enables rapid, easy-to-manage recovery of whole servers or single files. DPM's hard disk support delivers the performance and reliability you need to protect your critical business data without disrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's mag tape compatibility makes long-term archiving costs low and helps ensure compliance with industry or regulatory retention mandates.
Many small businesses still rely on obsolete, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a serious IT failure, this can lead to substantial revenue loss because of prolonged system unavailability and, possibly, unrecoverable records. Tape-only protection procedures are vulnerable because tape media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a tightly maintained physical environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure incidence when utilizing tape to back up their own operational servers. Tape is also inherently low performance. Because of this, backups call for scheduled server downtime, restoration points are often separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore procedure is long and tedious.
Data Protection Manager solves these shortcomings by supporting fast, reliable disk systems for online backup and relegating tape to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks allows ongoing transparent backup, shrinks restoration point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts recovery time. For improved disk dependability, Data Protection Manager supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the option to restore individual files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange Server 2010, improved integration with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
