SYSTEM CENTER DATA PROTECTION MANAGER


DPM 2007Continuous Data Protection for Windows Application and File Servers

Rapid & Reliable Recovery from disk instead of tape

Advanced Technology for enterprises of all sizes

with integrated Disk & Tape

Up to Every 15 minutes

DPM Finds Files that Make Up Data

D:\

+ \SQL_data

+ \Customer.MDF

E:\

+ \SQL_logs

+ \Customer.LDF


DPM Identifies Blocks that Compose Files

DPM filter creates a volume map, to monitor which disk blocks contain portions of the files to be protected

DPM Filter – Volume Map

D:\

+ \SQL_data

+ \Customer.MDF

E:\

+ \SQL_logs

Top Reasons To Plan for DPM 2007

• No more failed recoveries• Near zero data loss for Exchange, SQL, and SharePoint• Seamless Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape for backups • Recoveries within minutes instead of hours• Unified policy allows protection of multiple data types to any media

– in one schedule and with common tuning options• Eliminate the backup window of your production servers• Shrink potential data loss down to 15 minutes• Application recovery direct from backup UI – no pre-staging • Enable end-users to perform their own recoveries• Remove tapes from branch offices and centralize

backups at the datacenter
