Enables local businesses to back up systems offsite for quick restoration in the event of a disaster.

Springs Hosting, a provider of web site and email hosting, dedicated servers, colocation and data center services, today announced that it has added R1Soft Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to its set of managed services, enabling local businesses to back up systems offsite for quick restoration in the event of a disaster.

The company states that it will implement CDP for MySQL, Windows and Linux with available archiving and control panel integration with hsphere and cpanel. It further states that CDP backups will be included with all web hosting and email services and offered as an add-on to colocation clients. The company claims that new service will empower clients to maintain control of their backups and forgo the upfront software and hardware costs of data protection and disaster recovery.

''After nearly two years of testing different backup solutions, Springs Hosting finally chose to utilize R1Soft CDP as their main interface for all clients facility-wide. The sheer speed and ease of use in the deployment of R1Soft throughout the facility was a huge factor in our final decision. On top of that, it required very minimal training within our staff,'' said Jeremy Keefe, CIO of Springs Hosting.

''We're pleased to see that R1Soft CDP has successfully aided the Springs Hosting staff in more efficiently administering backups. We expect CDP will demonstrate to be an invaluable add-on service going forward'' said David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies.
