Microsoft Introduces Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010
Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), a powerful backup-and-recovery platform designed specifically for protecting Windows servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 allows on-going,transparent backup of both physical and virtual systems to onsite or remote hard disks as well as off-line recording to magnetic tape, and permits rapid, easy-to-manage restoration of whole computers or single files. DPM's disk backup delivers the speed and reliability you need to preserve your critical business information without disrupting network availability, while Data Protection Manager's tape support keeps long-term archiving expenses low and simplifies compliance with industry or legal retention requirements.
Many small companies still depend on outdated, tape-based backup and restore solutions. In case of a major system breakdown, this exposes them to substantial income loss because of prolonged network downtime and, in the worst case, unrecoverable data. Tape-only protection procedures are unreliable because the media is subject to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled physical environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure rate when using mag tape to archive their own production servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Consequently, backups call for periodic downtime, recovery snap shots are commonly separated by days instead of minutes, and the recovery procedure is time consuming and tedious.
Data Protection Manager gets around these problems by supporting fast, reliable disks for online backup while restricting tape to long-term storage. The high performance of disks permits continual non-disruptive backup, reduces recovery point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts recovery time. For improved disk system reliability, DPM supports disk clustering and non-stop arrays. New features of Data Protection Manager 2010 include support for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the option to restore single files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange Server 2010, improved integration with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
