Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a powerful backup-and-recovery solution built by Microsoft specifically for protecting Windows file and application servers and clients. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 allows continual,transparent backup of physical and virtual systems to local or remote hard disks plus off-line backup to tape, and enables fast, easy restoration of whole servers or single files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive support delivers the speed and reliability required to preserve your vital business data without disrupting network availability, while DPM's tape support keeps long-term archiving costs affordable and simplifies adherence to industry or legal data retention mandates.
Many small companies continue to depend on outdated, tape-centric backup and restore technology. In case of a serious system breakdown, this can result in significant revenue loss due to extended network unavailability and, in the worst case, lost records. Tape-based backup solutions are vulnerable because the media is subject to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled physical environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure rate when utilizing tape to back up their own operational servers. Tape is also slow. Consequently, backups require scheduled server downtime, recovery snap shots are often separated by days instead of minutes, and the restore procedure is long and hard to manage.
DPM gets around these problems by supporting high-performance, reliable disk systems for online backup while restricting tape to long-term archiving. The speed of disks permits ongoing transparent backup, shrinks restoration point intervals to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically lowers restoration time. For enhanced disk reliability, Data Protection Manager supports high availability disk clustering and non-stop arrays. Innovations with DPM 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines and CSV, the option to restore individual files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
