Microsoft Releases System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has released 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 computers to local or remote disks as well as off-line recording to magnetic tape, and enables rapid, simple-to-manage recovery of entire servers or single files. DPM's hard disk backup provides the performance and dependability required to protect your critical business information without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape support keeps long-term archiving costs low and helps ensure compliance with industry or legal retention requirements.
Many small businesses continue to rely on outdated, tape-centric backup and recovery solutions. In the event of a serious IT breakdown, this can result in substantial income loss due to prolonged system downtime and, possibly, lost information. Tape-only backup procedures are unreliable because tape media is sensitive to mechanical wear and requires a carefully maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure rate when using tape to back up their in-house production servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Consequently, backup processes call for periodic downtime, restoration snap shots are commonly separated by days instead of minutes, and the restore procedure is long and hard to manage.
DPM gets around these shortcomings by supporting high-performance, dependable disk systems for online backup while relegating tape media to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks allows ongoing transparent backup, reduces restoration point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts restoration time. For enhanced disk system dependability, DPM 2010 supports disk clusters and non-stop storage arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to recover individual files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, enhanced integration with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
