Continuous Data Protection

Why Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is Important?

Every business has different needs when it comes to data protection. User-created content typically gets backed up once per day while databases are backed up more frequently depending on their RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and some very critical domains require immediate Continuous Data Protection too!

With Continuous Data Protection, you can be confident that your data is always backed up at the minimal set period. Traditionally this has been a luxury feature for high-end databases and storage where you are expected to replicate your data online from one location to another. It involved almost setting up the entire duplicate remote infrastructure to take care of this. Not everyone has enough resources to maintain replicated copies of all their data in different infrastructures & environments.

The OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) databases were all that mattered to the enterprises, and they replicated only those. Replicating other data would have been costly in both time and money; there is no point in putting more strain on an already overworked system by making it do something unnecessary! These were left to a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of at least a day.

CDP (Continuous Data Protection) with Ace Data Virtual Vault

CDP isn’t an issue with Ace Data Virtual Vault. The solutions offer seamless continuous data protection/backup. You can configure it down to 2-3 seconds after any change or update is made on the data. The system keeps an eye on the data files & folders and the moment the change is saved, it is processed for backups. The users will never need to worry about losing anything important again because everything gets stored automatically within moments anyway.

Virtual vault is a great way to ensure that your files are always backed up. You can enable CDP on specific folders or even just one folder, depending on what you need for safety purposes! The frequency at which backup occurs depends entirely upon how often certain types of changes happen – such things might include newly created documents versus other modifications made over time; photos being added periodically rather than continually captured every day by an automatic system.

CDP eliminates the need for a backup window by only backing up data whenever it changes, so you can rest assured that your files are always safe. No need to plan a specific data backup window. You don’t have to worry about scheduling or provisioning any special resources because CDP will take care of all this for you!

With Virtual Vault, you can rest assured that your data is safe. The software will automatically pick up any new content as soon as it’s saved and keep an eye on all of those changes for you! Enabling CDP is a checkmark away.

Virtual Vault Continuous Data Protection is a must-have tool for anyone who stores important data. It’s easy to use, and offers complete peace of mind knowing that you’ll be able to recover any lost or modified files with ease – plus it keeps your system up-to-date!
