Microsoft has released Data Protection Manager 2010, a powerful backup-and-restore platform designed specifically for protecting Windows servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of both physical and virtual systems to onsite or remote hard disks as well as off-line backup to tape, and enables fast, easy-to-manage restoration of entire servers or single files. DPM's disk drive backup provides the speed and reliability you need to protect your vital business information without disrupting network operations, while DPM's tape support keeps long-term archiving costs affordable and helps ensure adherence to industry or regulatory retention mandates.
Many small companies still depend on outdated, tape-centric backup and restore technology. In case of a serious system failure, this can lead to significant income loss because of extended network downtime and, possibly, unrecoverable records. Tape-based backup procedures are vulnerable because tape media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly maintained physical environment. Microsoft recorded a whopping 17% failure rate when using mag tape to archive their own production servers. Mag tape is also inherently low performance. Consequently, backup processes require periodic server downtime, recovery snap shots are commonly spaced apart by days rather than minutes, and the recovery process is time consuming and tricky.
DPM resolves these problems by supporting fast, dependable disks for online backup while restricting tape to long-term archiving. The speed of disks allows ongoing non-disruptive backup, reduces recovery point intervals to as little as 15 minutes, and dramatically lowers recovery time. For enhanced disk reliability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports disk clusters and fault-tolerant storage arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines and Clustered Shared Volumes, the option to restore individual files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, improved operation with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration procedure.
