The Snapshot View Analysis for Continuous Data Protection

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new way for evaluating the Continuous Data Protection (CDP) system. This method primarily describes the CDP systems in their snapshot views, which focus on the major issues affecting the CDP system's performance. To explain the application of the method, we present several representative snapshot views of the CDP systems and propose a model for analyzing the systems' performances. The main contribution of the present study is that we provide a methodological guide for CDP systems optimization.
