What are your Disaster Recovery or Backup Plans?

During my event yesterday, we got into a great conversation about backing up and disaster recovery in between our session. A lot of companies are too complacent when it comes to a disaster recovery plan. Well in an outage, your disaster recovery plan can be the difference of your business remaining in business. I have been on the other side of that call too many times, about to repair Exchange databases, when I ask "Where is your backup?" I get the answer "We don't have one". Volume Shadow Copy will not bail you out every time.

System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 has just released to manufacturing. I attended a session on it last week and it is well worth checking out. There are some good changes over DPM 2006 as well. So if you depend on Microsoft Server-based platforms, including SQL Server or Microsoft Exchange, to manage and deliver information within your company, take a look at how DPM 2007 can help you protect your business critical data.

System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 is the new standard for Windows backup and recovery -- delivering continuous data protection for Microsoft application and file servers using seamlessly integrated disk and tape media. DPM enables rapid and reliable recovery through advanced technology for enterprises of all sizes. Get IT on it now. You won't be disappointed.
