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:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
“Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
—Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
