Microsoft has shipped Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010), an advanced backup-and-restore platform designed specifically for supporting Windows file and application servers and clients. Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,transparent backup of both physical and virtual systems to local or remote disks as well as off-line recording to tape, and permits fast, easy restoration of whole computers or individual files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup provides the speed and reliability required to preserve your critical business data without interrupting network availability, while DPM's tape support keeps long-term archiving costs affordable and helps ensure compliance with contractual or regulatory data retention requirements.
Many small companies continue to depend on outdated, tape-based backup and recovery solutions. In case of a major IT failure, this can result in significant income loss due to extended network downtime and, possibly, lost data. Tape-only protection solutions are unreliable because the media is subject to wear and tear and requires a tightly maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a 17% failure incidence when using mag tape to back up their own production servers. Tape is also low performance. Consequently, backups require scheduled server downtime, restoration points are often separated by days rather than minutes, and the restore process is long and tedious.
DPM resolves these shortcomings by using high-performance, dependable hard disks for short-term backup while relegating tape media to long-term storage. The speed of disks allows ongoing transparent backup, reduces recovery point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and dramatically cuts recovery time. For improved disk dependability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of DPM 2010 include support for Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2 virtual machines and CSV, the option to restore individual files, DAG support for Exchange Server 2010, improved integration with SharePoint, and protection during a Live Migration procedure.
