Continuous Data Protection (CDP) - Hosting Backups
Continuous Data Protection allows us to backup all your data to a secure off-site location FOUR times per day. It also allows us, in the event of major disaster, to restore service in minutes not hours. CDP provides the ultimate peace-of-mind.
Overview of CDP Backups
All UnitedHosting servers utilise CDP backup technology as it allows for ultra reliable data backups to be taken extremely quickly, efficiently, and with more frequency when compared to traditional hosting backup systems.
Not only is your data backed up more frequently, it is also stored in a secure off-site location. Our private network transports our backups to a separate location, providing ultimate peace of mind even during “worst case” scenario situations where data recovery is required. An entire server can be recovered from an extremely recent backup in a matter of minutes.
Key Benefits of CDP Backups
CDP is included with all our hosting packages as standard, and at no extra cost.
Backups are taken four times per day, meaning we always maintain a "fresh" backup.
Four times daily backups are kept for 2 weeks, providing 56 backup archives of your data.
CDP backs up at disk sector level, rather than traditional file level, for ultimate reliability.
Individual files, entire websites, or entire servers can be restored in a matter of minutes.
Access your data backups, browse and restore files at anytime via your control panel.*
CDP delivers bare-metal disaster recovery - complete server restores take only minutes.
Data is continuously encrypted while in storage and during network transmission.
*Customer access to backups via control panel is scheduled for August 2007.
Summary
UnitedHosting has invested heavily to add Continuous Data Protection for all its customers. We are the first host in the UK to introduce this technology and are committed to bringing further enterprise level architecture to our services. Does your host provide CDP backups?
