Continuous Data Protection solution for Linux Server backups
If you're new the the continuous data protection (CDP) game, continuous is the KEY word here. Most of us are familiar with CDP on Windows machines where changes are made and copies are automatically performed-capturing every change of data over time. The benefit here, as opposed to backups taken at a particular time, being you can restore to any point in time. Quite handy.
While CDP technology is not new to the Windows market, R1Soft currently offers the only CDP product that works cross-platform, for Linux and Windows. Since most IT environments are mixed-platforms, the need for a solution capable of supporting both platforms is strong and growing.
For your enjoyment, a current press release for the version just released: R1Soft Releases Windows 2.0 Continuous Data Protection Software

Our company uses this software on 200+ linux servers and about a half dozen workstations in our office. We use it in conjunction with a network boot to do automated recovery of failed systems. I spent a lot of time reviewing backup solutions and this is one of the better ones, especially for bare metal recovery.
