Microsoft Releases System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has published Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a comprehensive backup-and-restore platform built by Microsoft specifically for supporting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 allows continual,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote hard disks as well as off-line backup to tape, and permits rapid, easy-to-manage recovery of whole servers or individual files. Data Protection Manager's hard disk support provides the performance and dependability required to protect your critical business information without disrupting network availability, while DPM's tape support keeps long-term archiving expenses affordable and simplifies adherence to contractual or regulatory retention requirements.
Many small companies continue to rely on outdated, tape-centric backup and recovery technology. In case of a serious IT breakdown, this exposes them to substantial income loss because of extended system downtime and, possibly, lost records. Tape-based protection solutions are unreliable because tape media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a carefully controlled physical environment. Microsoft recorded a whopping 17% failure rate when utilizing tape to archive their own production servers. Tape is also inherently low performance. Because of this, backups call for periodic downtime, restoration snap shots are commonly separated by days instead of minutes, and the restore procedure is long and tedious.
DPM 2010 solves these problems by using fast, reliable disk systems for short-term backup and relegating tape media to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks permits continual non-disruptive backup, shrinks recovery point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts recovery time. For improved disk reliability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports high availability disk clustering and non-stop storage arrays. Innovations with DPM 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtualization and CSV, the ability to recover single files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange Server 2010, improved operation with SharePoint, and protection during a Live Migration process.
