Offers customers a more advanced level of data protection with user-ready CDP backups and individual file-restoration capabilities.

UK2 Group, a provider of domain name registration and web hosting services, today announced the availability of R1Soft Continuous Data Protection (CDP) across its extensive virtual private server cloud. The company states that VPS.NET now offers customers a more advanced level of data protection with user-ready CDP backups and individual file-restoration capabilities.

It explains that VPS.NET offers an "instantly deployable" image that can have a Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Server up and running giving customers complete administrative privileges over scheduling and managing their backups. The CDP software protects VPS.NET customers' environments by performing asynchronous replication of the target servers and archiving only the deltas or changed blocks to disk. Each replication creates a full backup that typically only takes minutes to create, even on larger data sets. This gives its customers the ability to perform more granular restores of individual files or folders as opposed to restoring the entire VPS, adds the company.

"Our team has been working closely with R1Soft for months on this project and we are pleased to say that we can now offer our customers scalable VPS hosting with a trusted high-performance data protection offering that can be deployed within minutes," said Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of UK2 Group.  

"As one of the first large deployments of CDP on the cloud, the opportunity to work with VPS.NET's experienced virtualization team on this project has been very exciting for R1Soft. Adding CDP for Linux, Windows and MySQL, exemplifies VPS.NET's commitment to offering customers a wide range of self-managed services," said David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies, Inc.
