Microsoft Releases Data Protection Manager 2010
Microsoft has published 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 allows continual,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual systems to onsite or off-site hard disks plus off-line copying to tape, and permits fast, easy-to-manage recovery of entire computers or single files. Data Protection Manager's hard disk backup delivers the speed and dependability required to preserve your critical business information without interrupting network operations, while DPM's tape support keeps long-term archiving expenses affordable and simplifies adherence to industry or regulatory data retention requirements.
Many small businesses continue to rely on outdated, tape-centric backup and recovery technology. In the event of a serious system breakdown, this can result in significant income loss because of extended system downtime and, in the worst case, lost records. Tape-based backup procedures are vulnerable because tape media is sensitive to wear and tear and requires a tightly controlled warehousing environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure incidence when utilizing tape to archive their own production servers. Tape is also low performance. Consequently, backup processes require periodic downtime, restoration points are commonly spaced apart by days instead of minutes, and the restoration process is long and tricky.
DPM resolves these shortcomings by supporting high-performance, reliable disks for short-term backup and relegating tape to long-term storage. The high performance of disks allows ongoing non-disruptive backup, reduces recovery point spacing to as low as 15 minutes, and substantially cuts recovery time. For enhanced disk dependability, Data Protection Manager supports high availability disk clusters and fault-tolerant arrays. New features of Data Protection Manager 2010 include operation with Windows 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to recover single files, DAG support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced operation with SharePoint, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
