1. ReadyRECOVER Solution Overview

1
ReadyRECOVER is a complete backup and recovery appliance designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Next-generation file system technology guarantees data integrity, efficient use of storage capacity, and minimal impact to computing resources. With ReadyRECOVER, full backups are instantly created every 15 minutes and can be used independently to quickly and reliably restore files, folders, or systems to any platform, physical or virtual.
al
Traditional backup solutions create increment resource-draining, full backup jobs to maintain data integrity and timely restore points. With ReadyRECOVER, each snapshot is a space-efficient recovery point that never requires image chain management or consolidation. In addition, each snapshot captures the entire target system, the Windows operating system, all services, all applications, all settings, and all data for fast full-system recovery.

Determine the IP Address of Your ReadyDATA

If you have not discovered your ReadyDATA, connect the unit to your network and make sure that a DHCP server can reach the ReadyDATA. By default, the ReadyDATA is configured to receive an IPv4 IP address from a DHCP server.
If the ReadyDATA cannot locate a DHCP server, the unit is assigned an IP address through Automatic Priva Addressing Without a DHCP Server” in the ReadyDATA OS Software Manual.
RAIDar is a software application that you use to discover ReadyDATA systems on the network. RAIDar is include versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. RAIDar is also available at

Create a Volume and Select the RAID Level

Note: ReadyRECOVER requires a dedicated volume. Other workloads,
such as LUNs for virtualization or file server, must be serviced by separate volumes.
For small ReadyRECOVER volumes with six disks or less, RAID 5 or RAID 6 can be used. Larger ReadyRECOVER volumes with more than six disks should use RAID 50 or RAID 60.

RAID Level Number of Required Disks Redundancy
RAID 0 1 or more None RAID 1 2 only (more disks are not supported in RAID 1) Supported RAID 5 3 or more Supported for one disk RAID 6 4 or more Supported for two disks RAID 10 4 or more, but an even number Supported for all disks
