Helping eliminate backup windows and enabling end users to retrieve previous versions of files without contacting IT, the Continuous Protection Agent works with the Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server to provide continuous disk-based data protection for remote file servers with LAN or WAN connectivity. By providing continuous disk-based protection, it simplifies backups by consolidating data protection to a central server, eliminates the backup window needed to protect each file server, and provides faster restores by ensuring business critical data is immediately accessible. As changes to files are protected continuously, point-in-time snapshots of each file server are captured and protected on the Continuous Protection Server to provide versioning and granular point-in-time recovery of files. End-users can seamlessly retrieve previous versions of files using Backup Exec Retrieve, a simple web-based recovery tool.
