SC 2016 DPM was announced with many new features, such as Modern Backup Storage and RCT based Hyper-V VM Backups. This results in upto 50% storage savings and 3x Faster backups, reducing your storage consumption drastically, and ensuring that you do not miss your backup SLAs.
SCDPM is an Enterprise backup solution with support for workloads like SQL, SharePoint, Exchange, Hyper-V VMs, File Servers & clients, which may be running on physical Servers or be virtualized. Further, SCDPM integrates seamlessly with Azure Backup for your long term retention, offsite copy, and compliance needs, hence replacing management overheads and complexity of age old tape technology.
To help you understand these features, we have a series of blogs by experts in the field talking about how SCDPM, with Modern Backup Storage, can be configured to back up different workloads in various configurations.
As the first part of the blog series, Aidan Finn, the IT Pro since 20 years, talks about what he found to be the Top 5 features in SC 2016 DPM.
