How one software developer uses continuous data protection for data recovery.

How Prescient Development uses Double-Take's TimeSpring CDP
By Deni Connor, NetworkWorld.com, 01/22/08

Earlier this month, Double-Take Software acquired TimeSpring, a vendor of continuous data protection (CDP) software. TimeSpring's TimeData is available for several Windows applications - Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server and the Windows NT File System (NTFS). The software, which is host-based, allows IT to recover files from any point in time. Among the customers of TimeData include software developer Prescient Development in Schaumburg, Ill.

"Several years ago our clients started off with no CDP and had no real-time protection," says Scott Schimmel, IT director for Prescient Development.

"If something went wrong, we had to go back to one of our nightly backups. Backups were great, except we needed to find a solution that would allow us to recover client data real-time in the Microsoft Exchange environment," says Schimmel. "If a user lost a file that was created the same day, we wouldn't be able to go to yesterday's backup to find it because it wouldn't exist."

"We needed a solution that had CDP capability and would let us recover data from multiple hours to seconds, days to the week or week to the month."

Schimmel is using Double-Take's TimeData to recover Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server files and some NTFS files that are critical to the operations of their clients.

Prescient Development has about 1,000 users who are benefiting from CDP.

Double-Take Software is busy integrating TimeSpring's products. Until integration is complete, pricing is not available for TimeSpring's TimeData software.
