DPM 2010 Product Overview and Roadmap
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 is a server-based application that enables disk-based and tape-based data protection and recovery for computers in and across Active Directory domains. DPM performs replication, synchronization, and recovery point creation to provide reliable protection and rapid recovery of data both by system administrators and by end-users.
DPM is designed to be installed on servers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008.
DPM uses replication, the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) infrastructure, and a policy-driven engine to provide businesses of all sizes with nearly continuous protection and rapid, reliable data recovery.
Use the following table for quick access to important tasks required to protect and recover your data.
