Overview
Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010) is part of the System Center family of management products from Microsoft. It delivers unified data protection for Windows servers such as SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Virtualization and file servers -- as well as Windows desktops and laptops.
- New in 2010 is the ability for roaming laptops to get centrally managed policies around desktop protection. Your laptop data will be protected whether you are connected to the corporate network or travelling.
- DPM 2010 also provides native site-to-site replication for Disaster Recovery to either another DPM 2010 server or an off-site cloud provider.
- Centrally managed System State and Bare Metal Recovery are also new in DPM 2010.
DPM 2010 seamlessly uses disk, tape, and cloud-based repositories to deliver an easy-to-use and best-of-breed backup and recovery solution for Windows environments from Microsoft. Windows customers of all sizes can rely on Microsoft to provide a scalable and manageable protection solution that is cost-effective, secure, and reliable.
Benefits
Benefits of Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010) include:
Unmatched Exchange, SQL, & SharePoint Functionality
DPM 2010 offers integrated support for advanced Exchange and SQL cluster configurations, shorter SQL backup windows without the need for compression, as well as advanced SharePoint data protection options.
Zero Data Loss Restores for Applications
DPM 2010 enables lossless recovery of Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint servers without the need for constant replication or synchronization by seamlessly integrating a point in time database restore with the existing application logs.
Host Based Virtual Server Backups
DPM 2010 includes support for host based backup of Windows Virtual Server guests. Using a single host based DPM 2010 agent to provide application consistent backups of any and all guests residing on a host. DPM 2010 can protect any operating system or application via this mechanism as long as they are running on a Windows host server.
Recover Files In Minutes Instead of Hours
A typical file recovery from tape takes hours and can be costly. The typical medium datacenter may have 10 to 20 or more recoveries per month. DPM 2010 enables the same recoveries in minutes, saving money for the business and time for IT administrators. Additionally, faster recovery keeps information workers productive because they spend less downtime waiting for their files to be recovered.
Eliminate the Back-Up Window of Your Production Servers
Massive growth in storage capabilities has increased the time needed to back-up file servers. Businesses also face the requirement for 24/7 uptime and the difficulty finding a non-disruptive time to perform a backup. Because DPM 2010 moves only the byte-level changes of the file servers it backs up, it effectively eliminates the downtime required to back up your file servers. Customers never have to plan for such "backup windows" again.
Enable Users to Perform Their Own Recoveries
Recovery and backup processes generally involve multiple administrators, each having unique expertise, adding to the data management total cost of ownership. Corporations collectively spend billions of dollars annually on recovering lost data. DPM 2010 solves these problems by enabling self-service user recovery, which lets you access and retrieve files directly within Microsoft Windows (versions XP through Windows 7) and Microsoft Office (versions 2007 through 2010)applications without administrator intervention, thereby lowering administrator costs and increasing productivity (check specific System Requirements for details).
Seamless media integration
DPM 2010 features seamless integration between disk and tape media. This includes an intelligent user interface that abstracts the operator from the need to separately manage disk and tape media, an integrated restore experience for both disk and tape, and rich media management functionality.
Storage Efficiency
Patented filter technology reduces the volume of full backups by as much as 90 percent in typical organizations, saving disk space and reducing full backup time from hours to minutes. VSS point in time snapshots further reduce the disk volume required, while Express full backup images increase number of available restore points which can be captured.
Remove Tapes from Branch Offices & Centralize Backups at the Datacenter
Today, the primary way to protect remote servers is for branch office staff to back up data to expensive removable media, such as data tape cartridges, and then manually transport the media to an offsite storage facility. Tape restores within this configuration can be expensive and slow. DPM deploys agents on the remote file servers to send the data back to the central data center where it can be more securely backed up by one IT administrator.
Advanced Functionality at Low Cost
Because DPM 2010 is part of the Windows Server System, it contains tools that are already in your server software, such as Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and Windows Explorer. IT administrators are already familiar with these tools, which reduces training costs. Along with the comprehensive report functionality included with the product, DPM 2010 can also upload all of its reports and alerts to the Microsoft Operations Manager console.
Protection & Recovery for Exchange Servers
DPM 2010 protects Exchange server databases every 15 minutes.
Protection & Recovery for Sharepoint
DPM 2010 provides best of breed protection and recovery for Microsoft Office Sharepoint technologies.
Protection & Recovery for Microsoft SQL Server
DPM 2010 protects SQL Server databases every 15 minutes, and can restore not only to each of those 15-minute marks, but also enable you recover to any transaction point, or even to the very latest committed transaction following an outage.
Protection for Hyper-V Virtual Guests & Hosts
Including support for Live Migration scenarios using cluster-shared volumes (CSV) and restoring VMs to alternate Hyper-V hosts.
Extends Protection to the Desktop
DPM 2010 extends protection from mobile laptops to stationary desktops.
