Continuous Data Protection offers a major breakthrough in Hyper-V virtual machine backup speeds.  After completing one initial replica of all your desired data, CDP can complete virtual full Hyper-V backups in just minutes, significantly reducing the load and disk I/O of your Hyper-V server's backup windows.

Continuous Data Protection block-level change tracking combined with use of the latest asynchronous I/O facilities in Windows 2008 R2 provide fast backup and restores of Hyper-V virtual machines.

Backup all Hyper-V Guest VMs with one Install

Install CDP Standard Edition onto your Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 Server hosting your Hyper-V guests.  Once install provides backups for all of your guest virtual machines.  Continuous Data Protection takes an initial replica of the disks you select.  You can exclude Hyper-V Guests (VHD files) from the backup policy.

Backup Hyper-V to CIFS or NAS with Standard Edition

Store and Archive Hyper-V Backup replicas onto any reliable disk based storage. Second hard drives, network shares, NAS, CIFS, SAN, ISCSI, etc.  CDP 3 Disk Safe technology ensures your backups survive even power outages and crashes.

Database-Consistent Backups for Applications inside Hyper-V VMs

Using Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) CDP Standard Edition coordinates the disk snapshot with your guest virtual machines and their applications including MS SQL Server and Exchange.

Simple and Fast Restore of VHDs

Restoring Hyper-V virtual machines is fast an easy.  Simply select the recovery point.  Then restore the VHD file for the desired virtual machine.  

Efficient Block-Level Delta Storage

 Virtual Full Windows Backups means that until unique disk blocks change in your Hyper-V VMs or are no longer used they are only stored one time in the backup storage, even across thousands of recovery points.  There is no real limit to the number of recovery points you can archive and the Disk Safe automatically retains only the deltas you need for your data retention policy.

Extract Individual Files from Inside VHDs

 Extract individual files from restored Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) files using our VHD Explorer tool.  

Remote Management Web Interface

The CDP web-based interface is full featured and easy-to-use remote management of your Hyper-V backups.  In addition to the policy management and reporting you can browse, download, and restore VHD files from your recovery points using an explorer style interface.  Easily manage recovery points and Disk Safes using bulk edits.  See detailed progress of replication and restore jobs as they run.
