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.

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

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

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.
