Though backup utilities normally run only once or twice a day, you can configure RTR to run in real time or at certain thresholds. You can even tell the software what percentage of network bandwidth to use while copying a file. To reduce the network traffic it generates, RTR sends only changes within the files you've accessed since the last copy was made. This flexibility lets you protect your valuable data as often as you feel is necessary. What makes Sequoia unique is its seed technology.
Sequoia copies the entire contents of the seed to a single replication server.
Once the seed is stored, all other PCs on the network can replicate quickly to the server, because the software sends only updated data across the wire. In theory at least, you could back up a server with over 1GB of data in a matter of minutes. In the future, we think you'll see these types of replication programs used in conjunction with backup products to ensure the safety and availability of your data. If money is tight and you can't afford to buy both backup and replication products, we recommend a basic tape backup solution.
