Agentless Continuous Data Protection (CDP) functionality, provides event-based real-time backup of changed data to virtually eliminate data loss for Windows, Linux, and Microsoft Exchange environments.
Smarter Backup’sContinuous Data Protection makes Televaulting the first remote office/branch office (ROBO) distributed backup software to add Agentless CDP functionality and to do so without charging users any additional licensing. Televaulting pricing is based on a ‘pay as you grow’ model where users only pay for the actual amount of compressed data stored in the Smarter Backup online Vault.
Televaulting CDP provides a more efficient backup option based on its virtually unlimited granularity. Customers can now restore data from an infinite number of recovery point objectives, while the backup window and recovery time objectives are effectively reduced to zero. Smarter Backup delivers these benefits without the need for excessive backend storage accumulation to support the CDP functionality, minimizing capacity requirements resulting in additional customer cost savings.
CDP is deployed as a no-charge integrated feature of the DS-Client component of Smarter Backup Televaulting software, which is installed at the remote sites. When CDP is enabled, the DS-Client monitors the specified data source and whenever changes are detected, data is automatically backed up offsite. The DS-Client maintains Smarter Backup’s agentless architecture even when CDP is being performed. Agentless CDP is enabled for Windows and UNIX file systems, and for Microsoft Exchange using Televaulting’s Message Level Restore functionality.
CDP operations are not impacted by occasional small data recovery and file restoration operations. The DS-Client allows these actions while CDP backup is still active, ensuring that no data is put at risk during a recovery. Restores can be performed from the local copy or from the offsite vault.
The DS-Client also provides automatic retention policies enforcement without manual intervention once the initial retention rules are set. Retention enforcement is enabled for both regular and CDP backup, and separate retention configurations can be established for both local and offsite data storage.
To minimize the bandwidth demands for remote backup, including CDP, Smarter Backup Televaulting incorporates a series of WAN optimization techniques, including de-duplication, data compression, block-level incremental backup and incremental forever backup. Additionally, backup data sent over a WAN from a remote site to a data center is protected by encryption up to AES 256 in flight and at rest.
Smarter Backup has architected its CDP solution to mitigate anticipated WAN latency issues. If the WAN speed cannot keep up with the CDP data load, Smarter Backup CDP dynamically and automatically adjusts the RPO granularity based on the available WAN capacity. The objective is to do the best possible job with the available infrastructure, instead of not doing anything. For example, an administrator may want to capture 10GB of changed data per second. If his DSL connection is not robust enough to transmit that changed data successfully, he may be able to transmit changes every five or 10 minutes. Bandwidth-throttling is also integrated into the solution.
Smarter Backup CDP is currently available as part of the Smarter Backup Televaulting remote backup software. Existing Smarter Backup customers can add CDP functionality at no cost.

Smarter Backup along with it's partners is working
on implementing CDP (Continuous Data Protection)
technology which will give clients the ability to
backup data as it is created and modified. In
addition, Smarter Backup will soon be implementing
our Backup Life Cycle Management system, which will
help customers keep costs down by managing data that
can be archived as opposed to data on the DS-System
which is ready for quick restore. Clients will
be able to move data which can be archived to the
BLM for lower cost storage and still benefit from
off-site backup. Stay tuned for the official
launch data of these new great services.
Smarter
Backup Lite
Because enterprise laptop users or single-PC home office customers have no complex network backup requirements, for these users, much of the rich functionality contained within the Smarter Backup Client package is unnecessary. To accommodate portable or single PC users, whose requirements are limited to fast, simple, single PC backups / restores, Smarter Backup offers the Smarter Backup Client Lite.
Message Level Restore Tool
Email has quickly become the single most widely used feature of the Internet, and many companies consider it a communications lifeblood. Lost or corrupted emails can cause significant damage, including irretrievable business loss. For customers on the Microsoft Exchange network, the Message Level Restore Tool facilitates and enables pre-determined levels of email backups and restores, from an entire Exchange network, to individual emails from individual MS Outlook users. Saves time, money and resources by backing up only selected emails instead of entire Exchange database Can quickly restore single emails
Library of Sleepers
For large database and file servers, the Library of Sleepers provide an effective way of splitting the processing power needed to perform backup between the Smarter Backup Client and Remote machine. Sleepers technology can be used in parallel with
agent less technology: backups done with sleepers can be restored
agent less and agent less backups can be restored using a sleeper.
