Product features

• Combines the best of tape and disk
  The HPE 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 HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System allows backups to be accomplished with "hands free" HPE 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 HPE 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 small business customers have limited time, knowledge, experience or desire to dedicate to backup and therefore currently have no or very rudimentary backup processes in place. The HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System offers these customers a complete backup solution that is simple to implement and easy to use.
• 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 HPE 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.
• Affordable cost of ownership
  Many small business customers have limited IT budget available for data protection with business owners wanting to reduce IT capital and operational expenditure and protect IT investments to optimize business profitability. The HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a complete backup solution that has low initial acquisition costs and low on-going media and upgrade costs.
• Removability and portability
  To ensure complete data protection against all types of data loss - including on-site system/site destruction or natural disaster - small businesses need the ability to remove their backup and archive data off-site. The HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that enables onsite backup data to be removed, stored and rotated off-site in an easy, safe and secure way.
• Reliability
  The HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a docking station specified for more than 10,000 load and unloads and an HPE RDX cartridge specified for over 5,000 load and unloads and long life expectancy.
• Easy scalability and expandability
  Many growing small businesses are experiencing storage capacity growth that is outstripping the capacity/performance of current optical backup solutions. The HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that scales easily as capacity needs grow. Adding capacity is a simple matter of adding cartridges to an existing HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System USB docking station. The HPE RDX Removable Disk Backup System docking Station will work with all current as well future higher capacity cartridges as they are introduced.
