Microsoft Ships System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has published Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), an advanced backup-and-recovery solution built specifically for supporting Windows file and application servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 allows on-going,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or off-site disks plus off-line backup to tape, and enables fast, easy recovery of entire computers or single files. Data Protection Manager's hard disk backup provides the performance and reliability you need to protect your vital business data without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape compatibility makes long-term archiving costs low and simplifies adherence to industry or legal retention mandates.
Many small companies continue to depend on outdated, tape-centric backup and recovery solutions. In case of a serious system failure, this exposes them to substantial income loss due to prolonged system unavailability and, possibly, unrecoverable records. Tape-only protection procedures are unreliable because tape media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a tightly controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure rate when utilizing tape to archive their in-house production servers. Tape is also inherently low performance. Because of this, backups require periodic server downtime, restoration snap shots are commonly separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore process is time consuming and tricky.
Data Protection Manager gets around these problems by using high-performance, dependable disks for short-term backup and relegating tape media to long-term storage. The speed of disks permits ongoing non-disruptive backup, shrinks restoration point intervals to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts restoration time. For enhanced disk system reliability, DPM 2010 supports high availability disk clusters and fault-tolerant arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and CSV, the option to recover individual files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration process.
