Microsoft Introduces System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has released System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, an advanced backup-and-restore platform designed by Microsoft specifically for protecting Windows servers and clients. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers on-going,transparent backup of physical and virtual systems to onsite or remote hard disks plus off-line recording to magnetic tape, and enables fast, easy restoration of entire servers or single files. Data Protection Manager's disk drive backup delivers the speed and reliability required to preserve your vital business data without interrupting network operations, while DPM's mag tape compatibility keeps long-term archiving expenses low and simplifies compliance with industry or regulatory retention mandates.
Most small companies still rely on outdated, tape-centric backup and recovery solutions. In the event of a major system breakdown, this can lead to substantial revenue loss because of prolonged system downtime and, possibly, lost records. Tape-only protection solutions are unreliable because the media is sensitive to mechanical wear and requires a carefully maintained warehousing environment. Microsoft recorded a 17% failure rate when utilizing mag tape to archive their in-house production servers. Mag tape is also inherently slow. Because of this, backups require periodic downtime, restoration snap shots are often spaced apart by days instead of minutes, and the restoration procedure is long and tedious.
DPM gets around these shortcomings by using fast, dependable disks for short-term backup while relegating tape media to long-term archiving. The speed of disks permits continual transparent backup, shrinks recovery point intervals to as low as 15 minutes, and substantially lowers restoration time. For enhanced disk system dependability, Data Protection Manager 2010 supports high availability disk clusters and non-stop storage arrays. Innovations with Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and CSV, the option to restore single files, DAG support for Exchange 2010, improved operation with SharePoint Server, and protection during a Live Migration process.
