With today's heavy dependence on information, data integrity is more important than ever. Even if you perform daily or weekly backups, a server failure could result in the loss of data created since your last backup. If your infrastructure processes high volumes of data, this loss could be significant.
With the adoption of continuous data protection (CDP), the window of potential loss can be reduced from the length of your current backup interval to less than one minute.
CDP increases your chances for a quick and complete recovery
CDP is disk-based data backup technology that automatically saves changes to data as they are made. Essentially, every version of a record or document is stored, allowing you to recover data from any point in time.
The inability to access mission-critical data after a failure, and the lengthy recovery process inherent to tape-based backup products, can cost your business thousands of dollars per minute. The chief benefits of CDP are near elimination of data loss when a server fails and quick restoration of files during recovery. Also, whereas standard tape-based systems can take several hours or even days to perform a complete backup, CDP backups are fast.
Some companies are finding that near-CDP equipment best meets their needs. Near-CDP equipment can be configured to conduct backups at specific intervals. Hourly backups may be necessary for your business, or you may decide that a backup every three hours is sufficient. The interval should be based on the amount of data your business generates and the ability of employees to locate the latest version of a file after a system restore.
CDP can be a primary or secondary backup source
CDP is the latest entry in the disk-based storage space market and an important new addition to overall data protection. Though it can serve as either a primary or secondary backup source, CDP should be one element in a comprehensive backup strategy. Your traditional tape backup still has value because those tapes can be stored off site and function as a second backup source.
