Microsoft System Center DPM 2010 ConsultingMicrosoft has shipped System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, an advanced backup-and-recovery platform designed specifically for protecting Windows file and application servers and workstations. System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 offers continual,non-disruptive backup of physical and virtual computers to local or off-site disks plus off-line backup to tape, and permits rapid, easy-to-manage restoration of whole servers or single files. DPM's disk backup provides the speed and dependability required to protect your critical business information without interrupting network operations, while DPM's tape drive support keeps long-term archiving costs affordable and simplifies adherence to contractual or legal retention mandates.

Most small companies still rely on obsolete, tape-based backup and recovery technology. In the event of a major system failure, this can lead to substantial revenue loss because of prolonged system downtime and, in the worst case, unrecoverable data. Tape-only backup procedures are unreliable because tape media is sensitive to mechanical wear and requires a carefully controlled physical environment. Microsoft reported a whopping 17% failure incidence when using mag tape to archive their own production servers. Mag tape is also low performance. Consequently, backup processes require scheduled server downtime, recovery snap shots are often separated by days instead of minutes, and the restoration procedure is time consuming and tedious.

Data Protection Manager solves these problems by using high-performance, dependable disks for short-term backup while relegating tape media to long-term archiving. The high performance of hard disks permits ongoing non-disruptive backup, reduces recovery point spacing to as little as 15 minutes, and substantially lowers restoration time. For improved disk reliability, DPM 2010 supports disk clustering and fault-tolerant arrays. Innovations with DPM 2010 include operation with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization and Clustered Shared Volumes, the ability to recover individual files, Database Availability Group support for Exchange Server 2010, enhanced integration with SharePoint Server, and full data protection during a Live Migration procedure.
