TECHNOLOGY AT A GLANCE

TimeMark
Scheduled and on-demand point-in-time snapshots

What it is
FalconStor® TimeMark® technology works with FalconStor Continuous Data Protector™ (CDP) and FalconStor Network
Storage Server (NSS) to enable you to create scheduled and on-demand point-in-time delta snapshot copies of data
volumes. TimeMark includes the FalconStor TimeView® feature, which creates an accessible, mountable image of any
snapshot. This provides a tool to freely create multiple and instantaneous virtual copies of an active data set. The
TimeView images can be assigned to multiple application servers with read/write access for concurrent, independent
processing, while the original data set is actively accessed and updated by the primary application server. This makes
TimeMark ideal for instant recovery, patch and upgrade testing, development, and other related functions.

What you get

Minimized network bandwidth and storage consumption
Delta snapshots contain only changes from the original source data and therefore do not consume a significant amount of disk storage
space relative to the original volume. Up to 255 snapshots can be maintained per volume, and a TOTALLY Open™ storage model allows them
to be placed on any storage array in addition to the array
where the primary data is found. Application Server

100% transactional integrity and FalconStor Snapshot Agents

point-in-time consistency
TimeMark provides the ability to quickly recover a single D TV [ 1:00 PM ]
file or an entire volume to a known good point in time.
TimeMark also integrates with application-aware
Snapshot Agents to enable online, incremental backups
FC or IP/iSCSI SAN CDP or NSS Appliance
and rapid recovery of databases and message stores with
transactional integrity. Flexible snapshot scheduling
supports granular data protection schemes, offering a
wide range of recovery points.
