Microsoft Releases Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010
Microsoft has published System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, a powerful backup-and-restore platform designed by Microsoft specifically for protecting Windows file and application servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,transparent backup of both physical and virtual computers to onsite or remote disk drives as well as off-line backup to magnetic tape, and enables fast, simple-to-manage restoration of entire computers or individual files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup delivers the performance and reliability required to protect your vital business data without disrupting network availability, while Data Protection Manager's tape drive support makes long-term archiving expenses affordable and helps ensure adherence to industry or regulatory retention requirements.
Many small companies still rely on outdated, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a serious system failure, this can lead to substantial revenue loss due to prolonged system downtime and, possibly, unrecoverable data. Tape-based protection procedures are unreliable because the media is subject to mechanical wear and requires a tightly maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure incidence when using mag tape to archive their own operational servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Because of this, backups require scheduled server downtime, recovery snap shots are commonly separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore procedure is long and tricky.
DPM gets around these shortcomings by supporting fast, reliable disk systems for short-term backup while restricting tape to long-term archiving. The speed of hard disks permits continual non-disruptive backup, reduces recovery point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts restoration time. For improved disk dependability, Data Protection Manager supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of Data Protection Manager 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtualization and CSV, the ability to restore single files, database availability group (DAG) support for Exchange 2010, improved operation with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration process.
