Combines the best of The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System is based on removable disk technology that handles and

tape and diskoperates like a traditional tape drive and media, yet has all of the advantages of disk-to-disk backup. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System allows backups to be accomplished with "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 Many small business customers have limited time, knowledge, experience or desire to dedicate to

usebackup and therefore currently have no or very 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 Removable Disk Backup System USB docking station either internally to a server or rack-mount kit or externally as a tabletop. The new HP StorageWorks RDX Removable Disk Backup System DL Server Module provides integrated data protection for HP ProLiant DL380 G6 servers,

optimizing rack utilization by integrating into any HP ProLiant DL380 G6 rack-optimized server.

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 HP RDX Continuous Data Protection 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, file 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 HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges at hard drive speeds (up to 108 GB/hour). HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are randomly accessed and read so critical single files and selected file stores can be restored in seconds instead of hours.
