Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery - Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is no need to first partition your drive and install the operating system.

High Performance - Sector-based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups. These backups typically can be performed at anytime, even on busy servers.

Small Backup Windows - Only changed-disk sectors are copied between backups. Incremental backups can now be completed in only a few minutes.

Open File Backups - Righteous Backup is a total solution including built-in support for backing up open files. NO 3rd party software is required.

Snapshots - R1Soft technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.

Near-Continuous Backups - During normal host operation, the R1Soft CDP Agent retains a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know which sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. This eliminates the need for file-by-file or block-by-block comparisons for every backup.

Remote Administration - Software can be completely controlled offsite using a Web-based interface.

Compression - Incremental sector-based backups ignore unused portions of the disk and copy only the disk sectors that have changed since the last backup. When used with traditional compression, this reduces backup storage by as much as 90 percent compared with a traditional system-wide, file-by-file backup.

End-to-end strong encryption - Using RSA keys, data is continuously encrypted while in storage and during network transmission. Decryption during a restore is possible only when the encryption key holder enters their pass phrase.

Data Integrity - During backup and restore, data is verified using MD5 checksums.
