Microsoft Releases DPM 2010
Microsoft has shipped 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 allows continual,transparent backup of physical and virtual computers to local or remote disk drives plus off-line recording to tape, and enables rapid, easy-to-manage recovery of whole computers or single files. Data Protection Manager's hard disk backup provides the performance and dependability required to protect your critical business information without disrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's tape support keeps long-term archiving costs affordable and simplifies adherence to contractual or regulatory data retention requirements.
Many small businesses still rely on obsolete, tape-centric backup and restore solutions. In case of a major system breakdown, this can result in significant income loss because of prolonged system downtime and, possibly, lost records. Tape-only protection solutions are vulnerable because the media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a carefully maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure rate when using tape to archive their in-house production servers. Tape is also low performance. Because of this, backups require periodic server downtime, restoration points are commonly separated by days instead of minutes, and the restore procedure is time consuming and tedious.
Data Protection Manager gets around these problems by supporting fast, dependable hard disks for short-term backup while relegating tape media to long-term archiving. The speed of hard disks permits continual non-disruptive backup, shrinks restoration point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts recovery time. For improved disk dependability, DPM supports disk clusters and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and CSV, the ability to recover individual files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
