Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010, a comprehensive backup-and-recovery solution designed specifically for supporting Windows servers and workstations. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or off-site disk drives plus off-line copying to tape, and enables rapid, easy-to-manage recovery of whole servers or individual files. DPM's disk drive support delivers the performance and dependability you need to protect your critical business information without interrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's tape drive compatibility keeps long-term archiving expenses low and simplifies compliance with industry or legal data retention requirements.
Most small companies continue to rely on obsolete, tape-centric backup and restore solutions. In case of a major IT breakdown, this can lead to substantial revenue loss because of extended network unavailability and, possibly, unrecoverable records. Tape-only backup procedures are vulnerable because tape media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a carefully controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure rate when utilizing tape to back up their in-house operational servers. Mag tape is also low performance. Consequently, backup processes require periodic downtime, recovery points are commonly separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore procedure is time consuming and hard to manage.
DPM gets around these problems by supporting high-performance, reliable disk systems for online backup while restricting tape media to long-term storage. The speed of disks permits continual transparent backup, shrinks restoration point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially lowers restoration time. For enhanced disk dependability, DPM supports disk clustering and non-stop arrays. Innovations with DPM 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtualization and CSV, the ability to restore single files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint, and protection during a Live Migration procedure.
