Product Highlights
Combines the best of
tape and disk The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System is based on removable disk technology that
handles and operates like a traditional tape drive and media, yet has all of the advantages of disk-
to-disk backup. The HP RDX removable disk solution allows for backups to be accomplished with
the included "hands free" HP RDX continuous data protection software, standard ISV backup
applications or data can be dragged and dropped directly to the rugged removable storage media.
To the host computer, the HP RDX removable disk cartridge appears as a Windows drive letter
with the high performance benefits of a disk based backup system.
Easy to implement and
use Many micro or small business customers have limited time, knowledge, experience or desire to
dedicate to backup and therefore currently have no or only rudimentary backup processes in
place. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System offers these customers a complete backup
solution that is simple to implement and easy to use.
Installation is an easy and quick process of connecting the industry standard form factor HP RDX
USB docking station either internally to a server or externally as a tabletop. Backing up is a simple
matter of inserting a removable disk cartridge into the docking station. The cartridge will
automatically show up as a letter drive in Windows explorer with no extra formatting or extra steps
required. Simply select the files that need to be protected and drag them into the removable drive
folder. To restore files, just reverse the process.
For a hands free backup experience use the included HP RDX continuous data protection backup
software designed for ease of use and complete workstation and server backup protection. Key
features of the HP RDX continuous data protection software include continuous data protection,
data deduplication, bare metal restore, seamless cartridge rotation and archiving support, simple
file recovery, complete backup coverage (unlimited file versions, open files, application data user
settings and the complete operating system are all automatically backed up), and comprehensive
backup status updates. Scheduled backups can be performed through support for standard ISV
backup applications.
Fast backup and
restore Staff productivity and thus customer service can be negatively impacted by the lengthening
backup window and restore/recovery times associated with optical backup solutions. The HP RDX
Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that backs up and retrieves data
quickly and reliably thus optimizing application availability and staff productivity.
Data can be backed up to RDX cartridges at hard drive speeds (up to 108 GB/hour). HP RDX
cartridges are randomly accessed and read so critical single files and selected file stores can be
restored in seconds instead of hours.
