R1soft Offers ReiserFS Support

August 28, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data protection products provider R1Soft (r1soft.com) announced on Tuesday that its continuous data protection server now supports ReiserFS, a journaling file system and leading alternative to the standard Linux extended file system, known as ext2 or ext3.

The company's CDP server has previously introduced support for a few different Linux distributions running on the Linux 2.4 kernel or higher. Specifically supported distributions include Fedora Core, Debian Linux, CentOS Linux, OpenVZ, RedHat Enterprise, Virtuozzo, Ubuntu and custom built vanilla or patched Linux 2.6 kernels. A beta Windows agent of the CDP Server is also available, says the company.

"ReiserFS has been the historical default file system for Linux distributions like Novell SuSE, OpenSuSE, and Gentoo. By introducing support for ReiserFS, our software can be used on a significantly larger portion of Linux server deployments," says David Wartell, R1Soft founder and CEO. "Many of our customers have been waiting for this important next step, and I am glad the waiting is finally over."

R1Soft says it also plans to introduce official support for Novell Suse and OpenSuse in the near future.

R1soft recently showcased its newly released MySQL backup products at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, the largest event that focuses exclusively on Linux and open source software.
