Most users aren't used to employing their Web browser to configure
programs as you do with IBM's Tivoli CDP for Files. But
applications playing in the enterprise arena, including Tivoli,
often use an HTML interface so they can be easily accessed across a
WAN. This latest, 3.1.1.2 version of CDP for Files was a pleasant
surprise?a swan has replaced the ugly duckling interface of last
year's version 2.2. It's the slickest and easiest to use GUI of the
CDP programs in this roundup.
Playing on the big stage where literally billions of dollars of
data is at stake also tends to weed out weaklings--CDP has been
around for a while. It does exactly what you need done, does it
reliably, and stops there. It watches folders and files you specify
and copies them to both a local storage destination and an external
destination such as a network drive, keeping as many revisions as
you want. You can use encryption and compression or stick with
plain file copying.
Once configured, CDP for Files sits in the system tray and does
its duties with a minimum of fuss. I noticed no system slowdown,
but there's a right-click option to disable the program temporarily
if you're doing something disk intensive. IBM's CDP for Files is a
bit pricey, but it works well, and there's just something about
having software with an enterprise bloodline protect your data that
gives you peace of mind.
