Overview
IBM Tivoli® Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for Files V2.1 is a real-time, continuous, data protection solution. Workstations and laptops are notoriously under protected in the modern world and now account for a large percentage of a business data, resulting in significant risk and exposure. CDP for Files is specifically designed to work well with you even if you are intermittently connected to a network. CDP for Files also provides continuous protection for file servers, reducing or eliminating backup windows and the amount of data potentially lost in a failure.
CDP can back-up your most important files the moment they change (real time) instead of waiting for a scheduled interval. Non-critical files are backed-up on a traditional interval. CDP can help you more fully protect your files.
By making up to three separate copies of files and versioning them for date-based restore, CDP for Files protects your files. The three target areas are:
Local disk
For protection even when not connected to a network
Network file system
For off-machine protection
Tivoli Storage Manager
For use in more sophisticated enterprises
