Microsoft Releases System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a powerful backup-and-restore solution designed by Microsoft specifically for supporting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers on-going,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual computers to local or remote hard disks as well as off-line copying to magnetic tape, and enables fast, simple-to-manage restoration of entire servers or single files. DPM's disk drive support provides the performance and dependability you need to protect your vital business data without interrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's tape drive compatibility makes long-term archiving costs low and simplifies compliance with industry or legal retention mandates.
Many small companies still depend on outdated, tape-based backup and restore solutions. In the event of a serious system failure, this exposes them to substantial income loss due to prolonged system unavailability and, possibly, lost information. Tape-based backup procedures are vulnerable because the media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a carefully maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure rate when utilizing tape to archive their in-house production servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Because of this, backup processes call for periodic server downtime, restoration points are often spaced apart by days rather than minutes, and the restore process is long and tricky.
Data Protection Manager 2010 solves these problems by supporting high-performance, reliable hard disks for online backup and relegating tape media to long-term storage. The high performance of hard disks permits ongoing transparent backup, shrinks recovery point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts recovery time. For improved disk reliability, Data Protection Manager supports disk clusters and fault-tolerant arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and CSV, the option to recover individual files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange Server 2010, improved operation with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
