Microsoft Introduces DPM 2010
Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a comprehensive backup-and-restore solution built specifically for supporting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to local or remote hard disks plus off-line recording to tape, and permits fast, easy restoration of whole computers or individual files. DPM's disk backup provides the speed and reliability you need to preserve your critical business information without disrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's mag tape compatibility makes long-term archiving costs affordable and helps ensure adherence to industry or regulatory retention requirements.
Most small businesses continue to rely on obsolete, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a serious IT breakdown, this exposes them to substantial income loss due to prolonged system unavailability and, in the worst case, unrecoverable records. Tape-only backup procedures are unreliable because tape media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled physical environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure incidence when utilizing mag tape to back up their in-house production servers. Tape is also inherently slow. Consequently, backups require periodic server downtime, restoration points are often separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore process is long and hard to manage.
Data Protection Manager gets around these problems by supporting high-performance, dependable hard disks for online backup and relegating tape media to long-term archiving. The speed of disks permits ongoing non-disruptive backup, shrinks recovery point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically lowers restoration time. For enhanced disk reliability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports disk clustering and non-stop arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to restore individual files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange Server 2010, improved integration with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
