Block HyperCDP

Definition

HyperCDP (or Continuous Data Protection) is a data protection technology based on CDP Objects and Schedules. By programming a CDP Schedule, it is possible to create up to a HyperCDP object every few seconds. HyperCDP Objects can be used as Snapshots, where it is possible to perform a rollback to a previous state.

Requirements
