Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM) 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.
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.
