Microsoft Releases System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, a comprehensive backup-and-restore platform designed by Microsoft specifically for supporting Windows file and application servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers on-going,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to local or off-site disk drives as well as off-line recording to magnetic tape, and enables fast, simple-to-manage restoration of entire servers or individual files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive support provides the performance and dependability you need to protect your critical business information without disrupting network availability, while DPM's tape drive support keeps long-term archiving costs low and simplifies compliance with contractual or legal retention requirements.
Many small companies still rely on outdated, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a serious IT breakdown, this can result in substantial revenue loss due to extended system downtime and, in the worst case, unrecoverable records. Tape-based backup procedures are unreliable because tape media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure rate when using mag tape to archive their own operational servers. Mag tape is also low performance. Because of this, backup processes call for scheduled server downtime, restoration points are often spaced apart by days rather than minutes, and the restore process is long and tricky.
DPM gets around these shortcomings by supporting high-performance, reliable disks for online backup while relegating tape to long-term archiving. The speed of disks permits ongoing non-disruptive backup, shrinks restoration point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts restoration time. For improved disk system reliability, Data Protection Manager supports high availability disk clustering and non-stop arrays. Innovations with DPM 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and CSV, the option to recover single files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
