Applications Protected

Microsoft platforms with VSS capabilities• Exchange 2003 service pack 2

• Exchange 2007 – including LCR and CCR configurations• SQL Server 2000 service pack 4

• SQL Server 2005• SQL Server 2008• SharePoint Server 2003 / WSS 2.0 – protected as SQL databases• SharePoint Server 2007 / WSS 3.0• Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1

Microsoft Clusters

MSCS Cluster• Traditional cluster configuration,

two servers – one dataset

• Automatic Failover to new server name

• Protection continues seamlessly in failover and failback scenarios, no user intervention needed

• DPM detects cluster configuration and associated server names when protection is setup

Exchange protection

• DPM protects both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007• DPM supports stand alone, MSCS clusters, CCR, LCR and

SCR• DPM supports recovering:

• SG level• DB level • Mailbox level

• For Exchange DB level recoveries, • Recovery to original location will recover to latest point only• To recover to older point, bring DB to clean shutdown state and then

mount it

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

Summary

• Complete protection and recovery of Microsoft workloads from Microsoft

• Integrated continuous data protection to disk and tape backup in a single platform

• An integral part of Microsoft System Center™
