Microsoft has released Data Protection Manager 2010, an advanced backup-and-restore solution built specifically for supporting Windows servers and workstations. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual systems to local or off-site disk drives as well as off-line recording to magnetic tape, and permits fast, simple-to-manage restoration of whole servers or individual files. DPM's hard disk support delivers the speed and dependability you need to protect your vital business data without disrupting network operations, while Data Protection Manager's tape drive support makes long-term archiving costs low and simplifies compliance with contractual or legal data retention requirements.
Many small businesses still depend on outdated, tape-based backup and restore technology. In case of a major IT failure, this exposes them to substantial income loss because of prolonged system unavailability and, possibly, unrecoverable data. Tape-based protection solutions are unreliable because tape media is subject to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure rate when using tape to archive their own operational servers. Tape is also slow. Because of this, backup processes require periodic server downtime, restoration points are often separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore procedure is time consuming and tedious.
DPM resolves these problems by supporting high-performance, dependable disk systems for short-term backup and relegating tape to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks allows continual transparent backup, reduces restoration point intervals to as low as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts recovery time. For enhanced disk system reliability, DPM supports disk clusters and fault-tolerant storage arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include support for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and CSV, the ability to recover individual files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange 2010, enhanced integration with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
