Continuous Protection Server lets you create a variety of backup jobs to protect your data. As the needs of your business change, you can add or delete backup jobs, or set new properties for existing backup jobs.
After a CPS backup job has been created, you can further modify the job by defining additional functionality such as the following:
-
You can define exceptions to backup rules. For example, if you want to back up everything in the Marketing Proposals folder except temporary files, exceptions can be defined for the temporary files.
-
You can filter drivers to capture changed bytes in files and copy the changed bytes to the destination. Snapshots of the destination are taken at regular intervals. Each snapshot is saved for 24 hours unless you specify otherwise.
-
You can run scripts before or after a backup job. Advanced settings are available for defining pre- and post-scripts to run before and after backup jobs. For example, you can close a database or run a virus scan on a folder before a backup job starts.
-
You can limit bandwidth so a job uses fewer resources. Advanced options are available for setting bandwidth restrictions.
