R1Soft today announced a new API add-on for its line of popular Continuous Data Protection (CDP) products, allowing developers to easily automate billing and provision CDP

May 23, 2007 – (TopHosts News Brief) – After a year of development, R1Soft announced the launch of the first-ever Application Programmer Interface (API) add-on for its popular line of backup restore and disaster recovery products.

Based on XML-RPC standards, the new add-on can be used with all R1Soft products. It’s supported by most major programming languages, including Perl, Java, PHP, C/C++, and Python.

For dedicated servers or shared hosting, developers can utilize the API to create automated processes, such as automatic billing and provisioning of Continuous Data Protection services. It also facilitates the management of quotas, users, and hosts in any hosting environment. Through it, developers can also integrate R1Soft products into existing billing and provisioning applications or interfaces.

“Our API vastly increases the scalability and flexibility of our software. Developers can now easily capitalize on the enormous built-in data protection feature set that is available in all of our products,” David Wartell, R1Soft founder and CEO, said in a company press release. “The API is completely documented and we even provide easy to follow and fully functional example programs written in Perl that use the API.”

The API introduces extensive capabilities for resellers, who can use the API to provide Continuous Data Protection to clients as an optional extra service.
