SonicWALL CDP 6080 / 6080B Getting Started Guide

This Getting Started Guide contains installation procedures and configuration guidelines for deploying a SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) appliance into an existing or new network.

The SonicWALL CDP appliance backs up data as changes occur or on a schedule. Data is backed up first to your local SonicWALL CDP appliance, and then optionally to a secure offsite location*. This real-time data protection provides the most current file and system backup possible. By combining the advantages of local disk-based backup (fast recovery) with offsite backup, the SonicWALL CDP appliance provides excellent protection against data loss.

Please read this entire Getting Started Guide before setting up your SonicWALL CDP 6080/6080B appliance.

Note: For more detailed technical documentation, refer to the SonicWALL CDP Administrator’s Guide and the SonicWALL CDP Agent User’s Guide at: <http://www.sonicwall.com/us/Support.html>

*Offsite backup is offered as a subscription-based service.
