More on Public Beta of Microsoft's Data Protection Manager

Michael Ridley:

Much has been made in various blogs (syndicateONE, Jason Powell, Data Recovery Blog) about this being Microsoft’s foray into the enterprise backup space. I suppose there is some truth to that, although Windows has bundled a rudimentary backup product of one sort or another for quite some time. The reality is that this product does not compete directly with tape backup systems. They solve different problems.

A disk-based online backup system allows quick recovery time for files stored online, can be an easier proposition to present an end-user client for "administrator-less restores", and takes disk I/O load off the main fileservers when you do dump to tape (since the tape dump is performed on the mirrored backup copy, not the live fileserver). Disk-based systems do not address the issues of off-site storage for disaster recovery or long term archival (despite what vendors such as NetApp might want you to believe, you cannot just keep buying more and more disks forever).
