Microsoft Introduces Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010
Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a comprehensive backup-and-restore solution designed by Microsoft specifically for supporting Windows file and application servers and clients. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 allows on-going,transparent backup of both physical and virtual systems to local or remote hard disks as well as off-line backup to tape, and permits rapid, easy recovery of entire servers or single files. DPM's disk backup delivers the speed and dependability you need to protect your critical business data without interrupting network operations, while DPM's mag tape support makes long-term archiving costs low and simplifies adherence to industry or legal data retention mandates.
Many small companies continue to depend on outdated, tape-centric backup and restore solutions. In case of a serious IT breakdown, this exposes them to significant revenue loss due to extended network downtime and, possibly, unrecoverable information. Tape-based protection solutions are unreliable because tape media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a carefully controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure incidence when using mag tape to back up their in-house operational servers. Tape is also slow. Because of this, backup processes require scheduled server downtime, recovery points are commonly spaced apart by days rather than minutes, and the restore procedure is time consuming and hard to manage.
Data Protection Manager 2010 solves these shortcomings by supporting fast, dependable hard disks for online backup and relegating tape to long-term storage. The speed of hard disks permits continual transparent backup, shrinks restoration point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically lowers recovery time. For enhanced disk reliability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the option to recover single files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, improved integration with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
