Operation
The first time the R1Soft Continuous Data Protection application is used on a new backup target computer it creates a replica of all data and structure on disk to a disk-based backup repository. After this initial replica the application uses a volume filter device driver to track block level deltas between scheduled synchronizations. The next scheduled backup operation involves creating a point in time snapshot and reading the deltas as tracked by the volume filter device driver. Synchronizations can be scheduled as frequently as every 15 minutes for an entire server. The application is known for its simple web based interface. Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service is used on Windows to take a point in time snapshot. On Linux a proprietary Linux kernel module is used.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
