DPM provides an efficient disk-based data protection and recovery solution. DPM protects Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Windows Storage Server 2003, and makes use of advanced features such as replication, policy-driven protection, and the Windows Server 2003 Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). DPM is designed to work in conjunction with your existing backup solution to help you achieve the following goals:
• Reduce backup and restore times to below those offered by traditional tape-based systems.
• Simplify your backup infrastructure and make it easier to manage.
• Reduce the amount of data your organization will lose in the event of a server failure or emergency.
• Allow your users to restore their own files in many cases.
