  Continuous data protection - ArticleWorld   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Continuous data protection (continuous backup) is a special backup technique which progressively saves data on-the-fly, as it is written to the disk.
While continuous data protection introduces a disk operation overhead (sometimes significant), it does eliminate the need of scheduled backups which slow down the system at a specified time.
Continuous data backup may be less space-demanding than traditional backup solutions.

 Solution Data - Products: Continuous Data Protection
Continuous data protection (CDP) is a methodology that continuously captures or tracks data modifications and stores changes independent of the primary data, enabling recovery points from any point in the past.
Continuous data protection raises the standard for data protection to the highest level by ensuring that business critical data is completely protected in a continuous, automatic, and real-time manner.
Continuous data protection guarantees that when a system fault occurs the data will be fully retrievable, whether the cause is a software error, corruption, user error, virus attack, or anything else.

 Continuous data protection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Continuous data protection (CDP), also called continuous backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves.
Continuous data protection is different from traditional backup in that you don't have to specify the point in time to which you would like to recover until you are ready to perform a restore.
Continuous data protection differs from RAID, replication, or mirroring in that these technologies only protect against a storage hardware failure by protecting the most recent copy of the data.

 InfraStor TechNote: Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Defined
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is a process by which a data storage set is backed up as it is modified.
The data is stored in a manner that allows the restoration of the original data source as it appeared at any previous point in time.
CDP technologies are complex, and must be application and file-system aware in order for the recovery of the data to be possible at any point in time.

 Continuous Data Protection - The Community's Center for Security
Backup and recovery operations are the focus of business continuity and data protection plans and often the main source of anxiety for IT departments.
Not only must data be protected from complete site failures, such as those resulting from natural disasters, data must also be protected from corruption or data loss, such as that resulting from a computer virus or human error.
Backup is the core of data protection because it provides the ability to recover data from either physical disasters or common data corruption.

 Continuous Data Protection CDP for Microsoft Exchange by Lucid8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Data restoration speed from tape can be up to 400x slower than recovering data from disk.
Data created between backups is not protected; therefore, restoring the last backup wipes out all changes that took place between the last backup time (usually 24 hours) and the disaster/corruption event.
Restoring data made hours or days ago interrupts your business as well as failing to protect against critical data loss, introducing a myriad of issues and costs that can have a severe and long-lasting effect upon your organization's business.

 Continuous Data Protection
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is somewhat of a blend of those two approaches.
Furthermore, file-based CDP solutions add only a modest amount of overhead because when a file is naturally written out to disk (saved) it is very convenient to make an instant copy since the data is already in various caches.
The corporate risk of missing end-user protection or not protecting their file servers with modern continuous protection is too high in today's world of data-everywhere.

 Continuous data protection finds supporters
September 16, 2005 (Network World) Demand for continuous data protection is growing as more businesses realize they not only need to back up the data on their networks as changes are made, but also be able to recover that data quickly.
CDP products, such as those from Mimosa Systems and Xosoft, save every change to data as it is made and let administrators or users recover files and other data such as e-mail from any point in time.
They take snapshots of data at specified points in time and only allow customers to retrieve data from those times, not from seconds or even hours ago.

 Techworld.com - Storage News - Microsoft launches continuous data protection product   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Continuous data protection products come in two iterations: those that record every change to data at the byte level, which allows IT administrators to dial back to any point in time, and those like Microsoft's DPM, which take periodic snapshots of data, allowing recovery back to specific points in time.
Whichever model is used, continuous data protection dramatically improves how quickly the restoration of data can occur as well as the recovery point objectives when compared to traditional incremental or full backups, said Brian Babineau, an analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.
Babineau described Microsoft's DPM and other continuous data protection products as simply "another feature function in the backup world." While those products now appear as a separate market, over time large vendors will add the feature to their existing backup products.

 Continuous data protection requires a clear purpose in the enterprise
Consequently, CDP doesn't replace anything, so there is additional capital outlay for the platform, along with the human capital needed to operate and maintain it.
Backups are usually not required for CDP journals because CDP is implemented as part of a broader data protection scheme; so all of the data that CDP is protecting is periodically backed up to snapshots, virtual tape libraries (VTL), tapes or replicated anyway.
The only time when a CDP journal should be backed up is in rare cases where CDP is deployed as your principle means of data protection.

 Continuous Data Protection Advantages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Traditional data protection solutions, such as disk-to-tape and disk-to-disk, require restoring to preplanned point-in-time backup images as well as reproducing and copying an entire data image on a restored server to accomplish a recovery.
When data corruption or the need to recover from a disaster occurs, the CPS instantly and dynamically re-creates the precise disk contents from any previous point or event in time.
Continuous data protection and recovery flexibility is the result of Revivio's patented technology for creating alternate virtual disks called TimeImage™ views.

 storage.itworld.com - Storage Tip: Continuous Data Protection to the Rescue
The same was not true for protection against logical data failures, such as viruses, database corruption, or accidental file deletion, until recently, thanks to the introduction of continuous data protection (CDP), a low RTO/low RPO solution.
CDP is not an alternative to traditional data protection technologies -- such as backup/restore software that uses tape libraries -- but rather a complement.
You could use scheduled-image data protection, which is the use of a series of snapshots that are snapped at tight intervals, as an alternative.
