SonicWALL© Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solutions let you easily and continuously backup all your data – so you can turn back the clock and instantly recover previous versions. In contrast, fixed-schedule, tape-based backup systems are notorious for being unreliable, cumbersome to manage and subject to significant human error. With SonicWALL CDP, servers, laptops and PCs are protected without the hassle and unreliability of tape, and without the risk of slowing network performance. SonicWALL CDP also provides backup for most popular small business applications and with the Bare Metal Recovery service, you can easily restore operating system files, programs, databases, and settings. Unlike tape systems, disk-based SonicWALL CDP provides automatic, real-time local backup as well as offsite storage of all productivity files through the SonicWALL Offsite Backup service. The service provides hands-free offsite backup and recovery of data to a secure remote data center and serves as the cornerstone of an effective disaster recovery plan.
