Azure Backup Server - free DPM
Suddenly, I found out that Microsoft has released a “free” cloud-based DPM. October 7, only in English, December 2 released a version with support for heaps of languages (Russian among them). You can download it here . The documentation is here .
')
Distinctive features:
"Free" DPM 2012 R2, no need to buy any licenses
“Free” - because you need an Azure subscription and payment for the Azure Backup service
Supports backup of workstations, servers, Hyper-V, Exchange, SharePoint, SQL
Stores 5 days of backups on disk, 180 "daily" backups in the cloud, up to 10 years of annual backups and some number of weekly / monthly
Self-Service DPM backup recovery is available in this version of the product.
I do not see much point in reprinting the documentation here, since it is available in Russian. The value of this operation is extremely small; I’ll cover in detail several points that deserve it.
1. The installation of this solution is, in fact, similar to the installation of the SC DPM 2012 R2 server (strongly advised to install on 2012+, due to traffic optimization). That is, this is further, further, further, with a couple of nuances. You can only use local SQL, which the installation wizard installs for / for you. The documentation says so, select the option of a new local SQL server. In addition, you need access to the Microsoft Azure and vault credentials file of your Azure Backup storage. Without this step, you cannot install Azure Backup Server.
2. It is impossible to use only storage in Azure. Azure stores a second backup. Simply put, write directly to the cloud Azure Backup Server can not. This product cannot write to the tape either (artificial restriction, obviously).
3. The type of storyline (and, accordingly, the price) that you buy in Azure is quite important. Choose from: LRS or GRS (3 copies in one data center, or 6 copies in several). These are settings for an age-based account in Azure Backup.
4. You do not need to buy OMS or System Center. Payment occurs for the used space + for the protected instances. More details . You do not need to pay for traffic when working with this product (for many, this information is new, but Microsoft Azure hasn’t taken any money to recover from backup for a long time ).
5. This product must be connected to Azure. What will happen if there is no Internet - you can find out in this table:
