Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, a comprehensive backup-and-restore platform designed specifically for supporting Windows file and application servers and workstations. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote disk drives as well as off-line copying to tape, and permits rapid, simple-to-manage restoration of entire servers or individual files. DPM's disk backup provides the performance and reliability required to protect your critical business data without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape compatibility makes long-term archiving costs low and helps ensure adherence to contractual or legal retention mandates.
Most small companies still depend on obsolete, tape-based backup and recovery technology. In the event of a major IT breakdown, this can result in substantial revenue loss because of extended network downtime and, in the worst case, lost records. Tape-only protection procedures are vulnerable because the media is sensitive to mechanical wear and requires a tightly controlled physical environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure rate when utilizing mag tape to back up their own operational servers. Tape is also low performance. Because of this, backup processes call for periodic downtime, restoration points are often separated by days instead of minutes, and the restore procedure is long and tedious.
Data Protection Manager 2010 solves these problems by supporting high-performance, dependable hard disks for online backup and restricting tape to long-term archiving. The speed of disks allows ongoing transparent backup, shrinks restoration point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically lowers recovery time. For enhanced disk dependability, DPM 2010 supports disk clustering and non-stop arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include support for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines and CSV, the ability to recover single files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange 2010, enhanced integration with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
