DPM 2010 Beta builds on the success of DPM 2007 as the Microsoft backup and recovery solution for Windows customers in four significant areas:

1. Continuous data protection of Windows application and file servers to seamlessly integrated disk, tape, and cloud—with support for a growing list of Microsoft technologies, such as:

  • SQL Server database administrators will see up to 2000 databases protected by a single DPM server and will get a self-service restore capability so that authorized DBAs can restore data themselves. Also, you will be able to protect entire instances of SQL Server, where all new databases will be automatically protected.
  • SharePoint administrators will also see new content databases be automatically protected and will no longer need a recovery farm for Office “14” servers to do individual item recovery from DPM 2010.

2. Robust and flexible protection and recovery for the following Microsoft virtualization environments:

3. Industry-leading Windows client protection:

  • Protection of Windows XP through Windows 7
  • Centralized policy management from DPM 2010, but backups occur while laptops are online or offline by managing policies within the local VSS client/backup tools
  • Restores can also be done while online or offline—from the local repository or the DPM media
  • Intelligent and customizable filtering to ensure the right data gets backed up

4. Scalability, reliability, and manageability:

  • Up to 100 servers, 1000 laptops, or 2000 databases protected by a single DPM server
  • Significant auto-protection, auto-healing, and reduced alerting for a more “fire and forget” experience
  • Enhanced disaster recovery options for long-distance data protection and business continuity initiatives
