What is R1Soft CDP?
R1Soft CDP (Continuous Data Protection) is a backup server that backs up various agent servers at the block level, bypassing the file system and reading data directly from the disk or volume.
Block-level backup provides considerable advantages over traditional backup technologies, including shortened backup windows and a drastic reduction in disk and network I/O, allowing users to perform backups as often as every 15 minutes with no performance penalty.
