Data Protection Manager 2007

Backup & restore for windows environments

Database administrators, e-mail managers, 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 its customers and partners and delivered a complete solution with System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007.

What is Data Protection Manager 2007?

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. 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.

While we recognise most customers currently have some form of tape backup technology, there are many who are discontent with the current offerings, either looking for better support of key business applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or SQL Server 2008, or looking for better than nightly protection to a medium other than tape. Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2007 addresses those needs.
