Implementation Scenarios Branch office data protection

Backup process Agent deployed to branch

office servers Agent captures data and

replicates to DPM server in HQ

DPM takes snapshots to enable recovery at multiple points in time

Benefits Rapid & reliable recovery

including end user recovery

Less potential data loss Easy and efficient

scheduling and management

No trained staff needed in branch

Reduce tape equipment requirements in the branch
