Introducing Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 SP1

Pain of Every BusinessInfrastructure Backup

Data volume organic growth

Cost & reliability of backup

Application intelligence

RTO/RPO and business

requirement

Client desktop protection

Technology revolution – from “traditional backup” to “continuous data protection”

Traditional backup

• Well-accepted traditional methodology

• Recovery Point Objective (RPO) restrictions

• Tie closely with tape media even for VTL implementation

• Generates Recovery Time Objective (RTO) constraints

Continuous dataprotection

• Similar to “Close to real-time replication”

• No “extreme” hardware Requirements

• Disk-based in Most of the Cases

• Great RPO fulfillment

• Very practical cost and TCO

“Backup” support in Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 environmentsAs a result of ecology evolution

Native support of tape drive in Windows Backup

• Backup to VHD

• Higher Throughput and Less Production Impact

• Boot from VHD Recovery

• Requires Add-on Applications to Support Tape Drive and Tape Library

Virtualization - with non-VSS Guest OS

Virtual Machine1 Virtual Machine 2

WindowsNT 4.0

For any OS or application that is not internally VSS-aware:

• Linux• Windows NT 4• Windows 2000• Windows with Oracle• Windows with LOB app

Virtualization - with non-VSS Guest OS

Virtual Machine1 Virtual Machine 2

WindowsNT 4.0

1. Hibernate OS to dump memory / CPU to VSV

2. Snap with VSS

3. Resume OS

4. Compare block checksums to send only changes within VHD’s

Virtualization - with VSS Guest OS

VSS

• VSS writer for SQL Server

• Database consistent

VSS

• VSS writer for virtualized Windows Server

• C: & D: volumes

VSS

• VSS writer for Windows Hypervisor

• WinSvr_C.VHD & WinSvr_D.VHD

VSS• Host-based VSS protection

Virtualization - with VSS Guest OS

Referential VSS writerNo downtime

Recursive VSS consistency

Only requires updated VM additions from MSVS SP1 or HV IC’s

Protected from host

“No downtime” (no bounce)

“No agent” (SW or $$$)

Virtualization – Protect from host or guest?

HostProtect or recover the whole machine

No data selectability / granularity

“Bare Metal Recovery” of every VM

Single DPM license on host, all guests protected

Virtualization - Protect from host or guest?

If the backup happens from the virtualization host, you can select each virtual machine as a single object for protection.

If you want to backup individual data objects like databases, you should run the backups from inside the virtual machine.
