Microsoft Ships Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010
Microsoft has released Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a comprehensive backup-and-restore solution designed by Microsoft specifically for supporting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 allows continual,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote hard disks as well as off-line recording to tape, and permits fast, simple-to-manage recovery of entire computers or single files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive support delivers the speed and reliability you need to preserve your critical business information without interrupting network operations, while DPM's tape drive support makes long-term archiving costs affordable and helps ensure compliance with contractual or regulatory data retention mandates.
Many small companies still depend on obsolete, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a major system breakdown, this can lead to significant revenue loss due to prolonged system unavailability and, possibly, unrecoverable records. Tape-based protection solutions are vulnerable because the media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly maintained physical environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure incidence when using tape to archive their in-house production servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Because of this, backup processes call for periodic downtime, recovery points are commonly spaced apart by days rather than minutes, and the restoration process is time consuming and tricky.
DPM solves these shortcomings by supporting high-performance, dependable disks for short-term backup while relegating tape to long-term archiving. The speed of disks allows continual non-disruptive backup, shrinks restoration point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts recovery time. For enhanced disk system dependability, DPM supports high availability disk clustering and fault-tolerant storage arrays. New features of Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and CSV, the option to restore single files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced integration with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration procedure.
