IDrive automatically recognizes the changes made to files present in your backup set and backs them up in almost real-time. The frequency of the continuous backups can be set to Real-time or every 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

To enable CDP,

1. Go to Settings > General tab, select Continuous Data Protection.
2. Set the frequency of your choice from the drop-down list.
   
   
   
   
3. Click Save Settings.

• Temporary files and system files are exempted from Continuous Data Protection.
• CDP will be skipped if immediate or scheduled backup is running and resume once the ongoing backup job is complete.
