IBM Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for files

The newest phase in the evolution of file backup is Continuous Data Protection, and that's where IBM Tivoli® Continuous Data Protection for Files comes in. It is a real-time, continuous data protection solution for file servers and users-endpoints. Instead of waiting for a scheduled interval, Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files backs up your most important files the moment they are saved, in real time. What's more, it does this effortlessly and transparently, in some cases eliminating the backup window.

IBM Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for Files is an integrated recovery solution that provides complete data protection in case of a corruption, user error, virus, or system failure. IBM's CDP for Files installs and configures in minutes, and runs invisible in the background.

  • Continuously protects important files without doing a thing
  • No scheduling, No tapes, No confusion, No worry, No effort, Set and forget

When a file is saved...

  • A copy is stored on local disk.
  • Another copy can be sent to a file server or NAS.
  • Another copy can be sent to an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server.

When a file is modified, Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files replicates the file to disk, according to the policy you set and how the solution is deployed. Consequently, users can easily restore the latest version of the file they need-helping minimize recovery times.

The result: improved backup window, backup and recovery times, and backup granularity.
