Microsoft Ships System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has released System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, an advanced backup-and-recovery solution designed by Microsoft specifically for protecting Windows servers and clients. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,transparent backup of physical and virtual computers to local or remote disk drives as well as off-line backup to magnetic tape, and enables fast, easy recovery of entire servers or single files. DPM's hard disk backup delivers the speed and reliability required to preserve your critical business information without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape compatibility keeps long-term archiving expenses low and simplifies adherence to contractual or regulatory data retention mandates.
Most small companies continue to rely on obsolete, tape-centric backup and restore solutions. In the event of a serious IT breakdown, this exposes them to substantial income loss because of prolonged system downtime and, possibly, lost data. Tape-based protection solutions are unreliable because the media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a tightly controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure incidence when using tape to back up their own production servers. Tape is also inherently slow. Because of this, backups require periodic downtime, restoration snap shots are commonly separated by days instead of minutes, and the recovery process is long and tedious.
DPM solves these shortcomings by using high-performance, dependable hard disks for online backup and restricting tape to long-term archiving. The high performance of disks allows continual transparent backup, shrinks restoration point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially lowers recovery time. For improved disk dependability, DPM 2010 supports disk clusters and non-stop storage arrays. New features of Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines and CSV, the option to recover individual files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, improved operation with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
