Houston, Texas - (Website Hosting Directory) - March 27, 2007 - Disk-based backup solution software developer for web hosts and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Righteous Software, will debut an add-on module, to enable its line of data protection software to near-continuously backup online MySQL databases running on Linux-based servers.

R1Soft’s debut announcement, was made at the FOSE 2007, held in Washington, DC. R1Soft will become the first, with its scheduled release in May, to offer a near-continuous data protection product for MySQL databases, which generally store transaction-based data that changes frequently.

David Wartell, Founder and CEO of R1Soft remarked, “Legacy backup solutions, such as tape backup or rsync, require server administrators to conduct data back ups at large intervals, such as nightly or weekly. With MySQL databases, the problem is exemplified, because database administrators often have to perform full dumps of the database while it is offline to avoid interrupting constant SQL transactions. We have solved this problem by introducing the first-ever backup solution that provides hands-off, near-continuous data protection for MySQL. In essence, we have shrunk the database backup window to nearly zero.”

The module, available as a premium add-on to the company’s existing CDP Server for Linux, is designed to create frequent disaster recovery restore points for MySQL databases—with the ability to store over 100 recovery points per day. Each recovery point is a complete and consistent point-in-time snapshot of the database, and administrators can revert the database to any stored recovery point via a simple, point-and-click interface.

Mr. Wartell continued, “Web developers will really benefit from this groundbreaking improvement in data protection for MySQL, especially in the Web 2.0 era where developers cannot afford to lose mission-critical data. Furthermore, enterprises are less likely to embrace MySQL unless certain factors such as efficient data protection can be overcome.”

Righteous Software currently produces Continuous Data Protection solutions designed for data centers, web hosting providers, and other firms using Linux servers. Founded in 2003, Righteous Software is a provider of disk-based backup solutions, with low cost, scalable and integrated products, featuring products designed to integrate with Linux-based systems.
