Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, a comprehensive backup-and-recovery solution designed specifically for protecting Windows file and application servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote hard disks plus off-line copying to magnetic tape, and enables rapid, easy-to-manage recovery of entire computers or individual files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup delivers the performance and reliability you need to protect your critical business information without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape compatibility makes long-term archiving expenses low and simplifies compliance with contractual or legal data retention requirements.
Most small businesses continue to depend on obsolete, tape-centric backup and recovery technology. In case of a serious IT breakdown, this can lead to significant revenue loss because of extended network unavailability and, in the worst case, unrecoverable data. Tape-only backup procedures are unreliable because the media is sensitive to mechanical wear and requires a carefully controlled physical environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure rate when using tape to archive their in-house operational servers. Tape is also inherently slow. Consequently, backups call for scheduled server downtime, recovery points are commonly spaced apart by days instead of minutes, and the recovery process is time consuming and tricky.
Data Protection Manager gets around these problems by supporting fast, dependable disks for short-term backup and relegating tape media to long-term storage. The speed of disks allows continual non-disruptive backup, shrinks restoration point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically lowers restoration time. For improved disk reliability, DPM supports disk clusters and fault-tolerant storage arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtualization and CSV, the ability to recover single files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange Server 2010, improved integration with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
