The document summarizes Microsoft's Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 software. It describes how DPM 2007 provides continuous data protection for Windows servers like Exchange, SQL and SharePoint by taking periodic snapshots of blocks that have changed and transmitting them to the DPM server. It also discusses how DPM 2007 supports protection of clustered servers and databases through integration with features like cluster shared volumes and database mirroring.

4. Customer Backup Pains Better nightly backups needed Tape is inefficient Lack of application support WAN not feasible for centralized backups Disk-based backup consumes large amounts of space Remote and branch-office data protection is expensive and cumbersome Customers want one vendor to manage everything

7. What is DPM 2007? Microsoft’s continuous data protection application v2.0 Block-based synchronization & VSS express full backup Native tape handling capabilities DPM Management Shell based on Windows PowerShell Updated application support: Windows 2003 SP1, Windows 2003 R2, and Windows 2008 Windows XP Professional SP2 Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate Exchange 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2007 SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 SharePoint Services 3.0 and MOSS 2007 Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Hyper-V

8. DPM Recovery Points Point-in-time snapshot of protected data source Discrete recovery point Stored in a VSS replica on DPM server Created by express full backup process Created at regular intervals or custom schedule Comparable to a conventional full backup Uses the Exchange Backup APIs to ensure log file truncation is properly handled

9. How DPM 2007 Protects Data

10. DPM Finds Files that Make Up Data D:\ + \SQL_data + \Customer.MDF E:\ + \SQL_logs + \Customer.LDF

11. 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 + \Customer.LDF

12. Start of Synchronization Window VOLUME (actual disk blocks) Time = 10:00 DPM Filter – Volume Map

13. DPM Filter – Volume Map Changed blocks noted File Write VOLUME (actual disk blocks) Time = 10:02

14. VOLUME (actual disk blocks) Time = 10:03 DPM Filter – Volume Map Changed blocks noted File Write

15. VOLUME (actual disk blocks) Time = 10:08 File Write DPM Filter – Volume Map Changed blocks noted

16. File Write Time = 10:11 DPM Filter – Volume Map Changed blocks noted VOLUME (actual disk blocks)

17. VSS Snapshot taken on production volume to ensure consistent data DPM Synchronization File Write Time = 10:15 (every 15 minutes) DPM Filter – Volume Map VOLUME (actual disk blocks) 11 7 1 16 17 18 19 4 12 5 6 15 8 9 10 13 14

18. 11 7 1 16 17 18 19 4 12 5 6 15 8 9 10 13 14 Block Order DPM Synchronization File Write Time = 10:15 (every 15 minutes) VOLUME (actual disk blocks) VSS Snapshot taken on production volume to ensure consistent data Cache of changed blocks is sent to DPM server DPM Filter – Volume Map 11 7 1 16 17 18 19 4 12 5 6 15 8 9 10 13 14

19. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Time = 10:15:01 VSS Snapshot taken on production volume to ensure consistent data Cache of changed blocks is sent to DPM server DPM Filter – Volume Map VOLUME (actual disk blocks) Block Order File Write Transmit changed blocks from 10:00-10:15 to DPM server Data integrity preserved, since volume snapped 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

20. VOLUME (actual disk blocks) And File IO continues Time = 10:15:02 VSS Snapshot taken on production volume to ensure consistent data Cache of changed blocks is sent to DPM server, while live disk continues. DPM Filter – Volume Map Transmit changed blocks from 10:00-10:15 to DPM server Data integrity preserved, since volume snapped File Write 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 18 19 20 11 21 12 13 22 14 15 16 17

53. Off-site backups with DPM All data protected Sync / 15min File RPO = 2hrs (12d) App RP = 512 days with 15m RP’s Important Data Sync / 4 hours File RPO = daily (63d) App RP = 512 weeks with 15m RP’s OFFSITE TAPE BACKUP

54. 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
