Data Protection E-mail

Database administrators, e-mail managers, and other IT implementers and developers are looking for a better way to protect and recover data from key business applications like SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, Windows SharePoint Services or file shares on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. Microsoft has heard from our customers and partners and delivered a complete solution with System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007.

This is the first of three sessions covering System Center Data Protection Manager 2007. In this session, we provide an overview of DPM 2007, including demonstrations of primary workload protection—Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, Office SharePoint Server, and Microsoft Virtual Server—using both near continuous protection to disk and long term archival to tape.

System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007
Data Protection Manager 2007 is a member of the Microsoft System Center family of management products, which are designed to help IT Professionals manage their Windows Server infrastructure. DPM 2007 sets a new standard for Windows backup and recovery—delivering continuous data protection for Microsoft application and file servers to a seamlessly integrated secondary disk and tape solution on the DPM server. DPM enables rapid and reliable recovery through advanced technology for enterprises of all sizes.

Microsoft designed DPM 2007 to provide the best backup and most reliable restore for Windows Server applications.

Focused on the primary Microsoft server workloads, DPM 2007 was specifically built to protect and recover SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, SharePoint Portal Server, Microsoft Virtual Server, as well as Windows file services. In addition, DPM 2007 blends the best aspects of continuous data protection (CDP) with traditional tape backup.

Protection and Recovery for Microsoft Applications
DPM 2007 continuously protects the core Microsoft server workloads to a DPM server or appliance, which then provides disk-based recovery and tape-based, long-term archival storage for a complete data protection and recovery solution.
