Low Cost Linux/Windows Continuous Data Protection Solution Emerges
November 25, 2008 by admin · Comments Off
“Continuous data protection has long been a staple for R1Soft on the Linux platform. With 90,000 to 95,000 servers protected by R1Soft’s continuous data protection (CDP) product for Linux, one can only wonder how their recent release of CDP for the Windows platform will prevail. It was my pleasure to speak with David Wartell, VP and Founder of R1Soft about this new offering, what it entails, and how it will affect future Windows backups.
Let me say straight out of the gate that being able to offer R1Soft’s CDP solution to support a heterogeneous environment of Windows and various flavors of Linux will surely add to the impact R1Soft can have in the backup space. This is a clear differentiator when compared to other CDP solutions as many others primarily only support Windows.
R1Soft’s new CDP product for Windows is what can be best described as a near-continuous high-performance block level backup that involves taking a point in time snapshot. In Windows it is done with Volume Shadow (VSS) copy, and then uses a near-continuous method to compute the deltas for changes in between backup windows.”
