Overview of the SonicWALL CDP Agent
The SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Agent introduces a new user interface that is closely aligned with the 
new Web-based management interface for the SonicWALL CDP appliance. The Agent User 
Interface looks and operates the same on supported Windows, Mac, and Linux clients.
The Agent service is also faster, smarter, and more efficient than previous versions. Initial 
backup of one million files (of size 1 KB each) takes just a little over 6 hours, and subsequent 
revisions copy only the modified data blocks, keeping track of all changes internally. This 
method uses less bandwidth, takes less time, and uses less disk space than earlier versions of 
SonicWALL CDP.

About Data De-Duplication
Data de-duplication technology is used on the agent during backups of revisions for both 
applications and files/folders. This allows all new data to be backed up, while existing data is 
not rewritten to the appliance. Metadata keeps track of where the changes occur, and is always 
included with revisions.
