Irish web host and Internet services provider MyHost.ie has introduced dedicated server data backup featuring Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for Windows, Linux, and MySQL from software developer R1Soft.



The new service will offer consistent, reliable R1Soft CDP backups and an easy-to-use interface that makes restoring a customer's lost data a quick and simple procedure, according to MyHost.ie's announcement this week. R1Soft's Bare-Metal Restore feature enables MyHost.ie to restore damaged, lost or deleted files in minutes rather than the traditional hours or days customers may have experienced with other hosting providers.

"MyHost.ie chose R1Soft because we wanted to provide our customers with the best available solution on the market," MyHost.ie managing director Martin Saunders said. "Beyond providing reliable backup software, R1Soft's sales team was extremely personable and helpful showing us that they intend on keeping this up throughout our business relationship and the few support queries we needed to open initially were resolved quickly by a knowledgeable support team."

R1Soft's powerful disk to disk data protection software works by taking point-in-time snapshots at the sector level and only recording changes made since the last backup, increasing storage efficiency and minimizing data loss by allowing backups to run as frequently as every 15 minutes.

"We are excited to work with MyHost.ie to deliver a dependable data protection service that will protect their customers against data loss and help maintain the invaluable reputation of their businesses," R1Soft vice president David Wartell stated.

MyHost.ie customers can choose backup service packages ranging from 20GB up to 1TB.

MyHost.ie is among many web hosts that have implemented CDP. Last month, TurnKey Internet began offering its dedicated server clients R1Soft's CDP solution for $19.99 per month.
