How to protect your valuable data with continuous data backup software?

Continuous data protection

Continuous data protection (CDP), also called continuous backup or real-time backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves. It allows the user or administrator to restore data to any point in time.

CDP is a service that captures changes to data to a separate storage location. There are multiple methods for capturing the continuous changes involving different technologies that serve different needs. CDP-based solutions can provide fine granularities of restorable objects ranging from crash-consistent images to logical objects such as files, mail boxes, messages, and database files and logs.

Differences from RAID/replication/mirroring

Continuous data protection differs from RAID, replication, or mirroring in that these technologies only protect one - the most recent - copy of the data. If data becomes corrupted in a way that is not immediately detected, these technologies will simply protect the corrupted data.

Continuous data protection will protect against some effects of data corruption by allowing restoring a previous, uncorrupted version of the data. Transactions that took place between the corrupting event and the restoration will be lost, however. They could be recovered through other means, such as journaling.
