(MSPmentor) - R1Soft apparently has carved out a niche among service providers seeking a bit more than what traditional backup technology provides. The division of BBS Technologies Inc. offers continuous data protection (CDP) software for Linux and Windows servers. Here’s some background.
After the first backup, CDP takes periodic data snapshots. The user can schedule those snapshots — every 15 minutes, for example. The approach gives customers numerous data recovery points in contrast to a daily backup.
Hosting and colocation companies have taken to R1Soft’s backup method.
