Microsoft Releases System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has released System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a comprehensive backup-and-restore solution designed specifically for supporting Windows file and application servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of both physical and virtual systems to local or remote disks as well as off-line copying to tape, and permits rapid, easy recovery of whole computers or individual files. DPM's disk drive backup delivers the speed and dependability required to preserve your critical business data without interrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's tape drive compatibility keeps long-term archiving expenses low and helps ensure adherence to contractual or regulatory retention mandates.
Many small businesses continue to rely on outdated, tape-centric backup and recovery technology. In case of a serious IT breakdown, this can lead to significant income loss because of prolonged network downtime and, possibly, lost data. Tape-only protection procedures are vulnerable because tape media is subject to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure rate when using tape to back up their in-house operational servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Because of this, backups require scheduled server downtime, recovery points are commonly separated by days instead of minutes, and the restoration process is long and hard to manage.
Data Protection Manager resolves these shortcomings by using fast, dependable disks for online backup while relegating tape to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks allows continual non-disruptive backup, reduces restoration point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts restoration time. For enhanced disk system reliability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports disk clusters and non-stop arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and Clustered Shared Volumes, the option to restore single files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange 2010, improved integration with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration procedure.
