Near Continuous Backup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Near Continuous Backup or Near Continuous Data Protection is a derivative of Continuous Data Protection, where protection is done is such a manner that many "point in time" data recovery options are available. These recovery points should be close enough in time (e.g., a few minutes apart) to minimize data loss in case of disaster.

An example of Near Continuous Data Protection is EMC Celerra IP Replicator V2, which periodically replicates changes from as low as 1 minute to several hours or days. Another example is CDP Server 2.0, a disk-based backup software developed by R1Soft. Read more about the advantages of near-continuous data protection vs. True CDP here.
