Chapter 1: SonicWALL CDP Overview
Protect your network using SonicWALL CDP (Continuous Data Protection), a secure backup
solution that runs continuously, archiving file and application data from assigned agents
(servers, laptops or PCs intended for backup using SonicWALL CDP).
SonicWALL CDP replicates data in real time, capturing new, changed and deleted information.
By storing multiple versions of each file and application revision, SonicWALL CDP can recall
data from nearly any point in time.
In the event of local disaster, data can be recovered from the secure SonicWALL CDP Offsite
Service.The Offsite Service is an optional service that backs up your data at a North American
or European site. For more routine data recovery needs, the SonicWALL CDP appliance
provides instant, onsite data recall. SonicWALL CDP works even when users are on remote
laptops connected by IPsec or SSL VPN connections.
SonicWALL CDP includes an appliance, a Web Management Interface, Agent User Interface,
and Offsite Service.
