With the release of Data Protection Manager 2007, Microsoft has an in-house product that is capable of providing real-time data protection to a Windows Server-based enterprise, from operating systems to Microsoft server applications. In the TechNet Webcast: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 Overview, the viewer gets not only a discussion of what is possible to do with DPM 2007 but also a look at how to protect their major server workloads.
Starting with an overview of what is included in DPM 2007 and what workloads can be protected, Jason gives the viewer of the webcast a good background in what DPM2007 can and can’t do before jumping in to demonstrating the product with common workloads.
Showing how easy it is to get started with DPM, Jason walks the viewers quickly through the installation of the software. The coverage of features like the prerequisite checker gives the viewer a good idea of what’s needed to use DPM 2007.
He also works through some specific configuration details for the major workloads, as well; not just on backing up data but restoring data, too. Too many backup products are strong on backup and weak on restore.
Anyone considering the implementation of DPM 2007 in their enterprise would be well served by taking the time to view this webcast. DPM provides a very broad spectrum of coverage and has a wealth of features that are well covered in this overview presentation.
