TimeDataTM is a Windows-based, cluster-aware application that protects files on NTFS volumes, SQL Server® databases and Exchange Server mailbox stores. TimeData software provides file-based Continuous Data Protection (CDP) with Zero Data Loss technology, which means that no data is ever lost or corrupted.

TimeData is a Windows®-based, cluster-aware application which protects files on NTFS volumes, including data associated with Microsoft® SQL Server® and Microsoft Exchange Server TimeData provides computing environments with file-based CDP; the CDP-based solution captures events as they happen and records those events to a separate storage device. This means that new information is preserved as it is created. TimeData software monitors file-system activity, captures all changes to protected data, and sends those changes to the TimeData Repository Server for storage. By capturing all changes, TimeData can reconstruct a separate version of a protected object for each change made over time. TimeData can provide accurate and consistent views of all files (including databases) at any point in time. TimeData integrates with existing backup systems to improve data protection while simplifying data management.
Enable Time Travel : TimeData recreates a past data environment by synthesizing a view of the protected files at any given time. The time-travel feature allows you to restore to any moment, including to the moment before data-loss or corruption occurred. You can view a past version of your data at any moment on your corporate network and restore data back to production systems within minutes instead of hours or days.
Eliminate the Backup Window : By preserving every change as it happens, TimeData eliminates the backup window. There is no need for scheduled backup times because data is backed up continuously. Eliminating the backup window prevents exposure to data loss and removes the need for expensive and complex "open file" agents required in a typical tape backup environment. In addition, time spent running backups is removed, increasing overall up time and circumventing negative effects.
Eliminate Media Management : A strategy with more components creates a backup environment that is more complex. The TimeData solution requires only two components: the TimeData Agent and the TimeData Repository Server. TimeData eliminates the need for media management since its continuous data protection technology requires only one storage device. Data in the repository is removed as it ages according to the retention policies that you configure.
Preserve Data Integrity : TimeData monitors events at the file-system level and ensures that application- consistent copies of data are available for recovery. This reduces the trial-and-error associated with data restores and ensures the integrity of protected data. The retrievable versions are points in time where data is application-level consistent.
Simplify Data Management : TimeData allows you to monitor protected data across different servers from a centralized management interface, the TimeData Management Console. In the management console, you can organize protected data by application into logical content groups. Simplifying protection, retention and recovery can be associated with each content group to guarantee the appropriate level of protection.
Minimize the Cost of Operational Recovery :TimeData software is easy to use and experts are not required to manage data protection or recovery. Businesses can continue to run full backups to tape or maintain offsite vaulting procedures but eliminate the media costs, complexity and unreliability of incremental or differential backups.
Enable Offline Processing : Businesses can better leverage their critical data with TimeData. Secondary or non-production servers can easily access relevant views of data for such purposes as reporting, analytical processing or testing. In the case of software updates, application testing or failure analysis, data can be presented to a secondary server without impacting production operations.
Be Prepared : When disaster strikes, the survival of your business depends on how quickly critical applications and data are back online. TimeData makes sure that you have up to date and historical data available 24x7. Operational Recovery using TimeData to restore critical data after human error, corruption and other unwanted changes is quicker and easier than with tape. Combining TimeData with disaster recovery capabilities of Double- Take ensures that your company is recovery ready.
