SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Agent User’s Guide
SonicWALL CDP Agent User Guide
This User’s Guide provides installation procedures and configuration guidelines for deploying
the SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Agent. The SonicWALL CDP Agent
provides a software interface for backing up files, folders, and application data to a SonicWALL
CDP appliance.
The SonicWALL CDP appliance backs up data from the agent computer, saving it first locally
and then, if configured, to a secure offsite location*. By combining the advantages of local
disk-based backup (fast recovery) with offsite backup, the SonicWALL CDP appliance helps
protect your network from threats of data loss.
*Offsite backup is offered as a subscription-based service.
