IBM Tivoli® Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for Files

While all data is important, the most valuable files for any business are the ones presently being created and used. Because clients and partners depend on timely mission completion, losing active files to system failure or human error can be very costly. Alarmingly, with an estimated 60% of corporate data housed on notoriously under protected workstations and notebooks, many businesses have no effective backup solution in place for off-site users. Other existing solutions rely upon manual intervention or scheduled back-ups, creating periods of vulnerability that pose an unacceptable risk to critical data.

IBM Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files (CDP) is a highly flexible, easy-to-use application which protects files as you work. The moment you save a file it is seamlessly, invisibly protected, even without a backup server or network connection. CDP can run on any or every desktop and laptop at your company and can even protect files even when you are on the road or on a plane. It is a tiny powerful engine which runs constantly and quietly, keeping your data safe from harm. If you delete a file by mistake or make a change you do not like, you can bring back the version you want. With CDP, Backing up your data for safekeeping is simple and does not require a constant connection. CDP patiently waits until you are connected and then copies the files over. If you run out of space, CDP tells you and continues to try to save your files until space is freed up and the copy is successful.
