Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a powerful backup-and-restore solution designed specifically for protecting Windows servers and clients. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers on-going,non-disruptive backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote hard disks plus off-line copying to magnetic tape, and enables fast, easy-to-manage recovery of entire computers or individual files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup provides the performance and reliability required to protect your critical business information without disrupting network availability, while DPM's tape drive support keeps long-term archiving expenses affordable and simplifies adherence to industry or regulatory retention requirements.
Many small businesses still depend on obsolete, tape-based backup and restore technology. In case of a serious system failure, this can result in significant revenue loss because of extended system unavailability and, in the worst case, unrecoverable information. Tape-only protection solutions are unreliable because the media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly maintained physical environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure rate when using mag tape to archive their in-house operational servers. Tape is also inherently slow. Consequently, backup processes call for scheduled server downtime, restoration points are often separated by days rather than minutes, and the recovery process is long and hard to manage.
Data Protection Manager resolves these problems by supporting high-performance, reliable disk systems for online backup while restricting tape to long-term storage. The high performance of hard disks allows continual non-disruptive backup, reduces restoration point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts restoration time. For enhanced disk system reliability, DPM supports high availability disk clustering and fault-tolerant storage arrays. Innovations with DPM 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to restore single files, DAG support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
