2 Agenda Statistics & Customer Pains that Microsoft is focused on Introduction to DPM How DPM protects applications

3 System Center Data Protection Manager Backup/Restore remains the single most costly IT administrative task. 74% of storage costs are for management and administration The cost of managing data protection and storage is 5x - 7x the cost of purchasing the hardware. More specifically, 74% of storage costs are for management and administration, with only 12% going to hardware. – Gartner

4 System Center Data Protection Manager 97% of all tape restores are single files – Strategic Research 85% of tape restores are for data less than 30 days – IDC

5 System Center Data Protection Manager Tape Restores fail 41% - according to Yankee Group 66% - according to Strategic Research 70% - according to Promise Due to a variety of reasons, including unreadable tape, corrupted indexes, mechanical issues with tape changer, unable to locate tape, etc.

6 “Distributed backups are painful” Every office is backing itself up – with non-IT staff WAN not feasible to sustain centralized backups Branch offices must back up themselves using non-technical staff and non-scalable and less mature equipment Corporate IT must remotely administer and monitor ###’s of independent branch backup jobs Shrinking Backup Window Costs are too high Too many hours of labor spent on backup and recovery Too many tapes, hardware purchases Massive data growth increases costs All recoveries are done by IT administrators “70% of my backup costs are labor” “Backups are hard. Recoveries are worse” Recovery is unreliable and painful Finding and recovering data from tapes is slow – hours to days Typical recovery takes hours or days 42% of companies had a failed recovery in past year Enterprise backups can fail due to the size of the data Customer Data Protection Pain Points

7 What does DPM do? Agent on production servers capturing byte-level changes as they occur Near continuous (hourly) protection of files Multiple scheduled snapshots per day Easy IT or End-User restore – fast from disk

60 Common Customer Characteristics DPM is a solution for customers of all sizes but the ideal customers are: Enterprises with lots of branch offices Many distributed branch office file servers Few or no dedicated IT staff in the branch Likely to currently use existing tape infrastructure High backup costs Medium-sized data centers servers Significant backup window issues Frequent file recoveries from tape Few IT staff Familiarity with VSS and SCSF Have a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of approximately one hour Have a faster Recovery Time Objective (RTO) than tape can provide 

61 Implementation Scenarios Branch office data protection Backup process Agent deployed to branch office servers Agent captures data and replicates to DPM server in HQ DPM takes snapshots to enable recovery at multiple points in time Benefits Rapid & reliable recovery including end user recovery Less potential data loss Easy and efficient scheduling and management No trained staff needed in branch Reduce tape equipment requirements in the branch Corporate WAN New York Chicago Los Angeles Clients Headquarters DPM Server

62 Completing the D2D2T scenario Allows for restore of DPM server itself (system state, replicas) Enables restore of any file object on production servers from tape Provides ISV’s ability to control this process through their software applications Solutions available: Yosemite, Veritas, CommVault, Windows Backup Clients ActiveDirectory File Servers DPM Servers Tape Library Snapshots

What about R2 and DFS? Doesn’t it do the same thing?

69 DPM & Windows Server 2003 R2 for the branch office DPM = Backup & Restore (2000, 2003, and R2) Centralized Backup of branch offices Disk-based backup of recent data (7-30 days) prior to tape solution from ISV Fast restore from disk – by IT or End-User Separate purchased product DFS = Availability of Files (R2 only) Near current redundant copy available Transparent redirection / failover to alternate copy Part of Windows Server 2003 R2

70 DPM & Windows Server 2003 R2 for the branch office DPM Data Protection Manager Agent on file server, captures “whatever application writes” (bytes or whole-file) in real-time - Even open files protected. Journals changes to file. Up to hourly transmits to DPM server Periodic snapshots End-User and IT restore Low CPU / Uses disk-journal DFS Replication & Namespaces Replicate (every 15 min) between copies of files RDC comparison algorithm actively compares changes within and between files to minimize bytes transferred over WAN Failover to alternate copy via DFS Namespaces Higher CPU for comparison logic

71 DPM & Windows Server 2003 R2 for the branch office If client wants high availability/failover of branch office file servers, we recommend Windows Server 2003 R2. For centralized backup and fast recovery of branch office files with multiple recovery points, we recommend DPM. For both high availability/failover and centralized backup capabilities, recommend both Windows Server 2003 R2 and DPM.
