Microsoft Releases Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), an advanced backup-and-recovery platform built specifically for supporting Windows servers and workstations. Data Protection Manager 2010 allows continual,non-disruptive backup of both physical and virtual systems to local or off-site disks as well as off-line backup to tape, and enables fast, simple-to-manage recovery of entire servers or single files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup provides the speed and reliability required to protect your vital business information without interrupting network operations, while DPM's tape drive compatibility keeps long-term archiving costs low and helps ensure compliance with industry or legal data retention requirements.
Many small businesses still depend on outdated, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a major IT failure, this can lead to substantial revenue loss due to extended network unavailability and, in the worst case, unrecoverable records. Tape-only backup solutions are unreliable because tape media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure incidence when utilizing mag tape to archive their in-house production servers. Tape is also inherently low performance. Because of this, backup processes require scheduled downtime, restoration snap shots are often separated by days instead of minutes, and the restoration procedure is time consuming and tricky.
DPM 2010 solves these shortcomings by supporting high-performance, dependable disks for short-term backup while relegating tape media to long-term storage. The speed of disks permits continual transparent backup, reduces restoration point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts recovery time. For improved disk dependability, DPM supports disk clusters and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to recover individual files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, enhanced integration with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration process.
