> DATASHEET

Fast, Simple, Reliable, and Compact
Disk-Based Data Protection System

The Quantum RDX® system is a fast, simple, reliable and compact disk­based data protection system that satisfies the backup and archive needs
of today’s fast-paced business. Combining the removability and high
capacity of tape with the random file access and performance of disk, the
Quantum RDX provides a compelling answer to the on-site/off-site data
protection needs of small businesses and branch offices.

Along with the dock and the removable data cartridge, the Quantum
RDX system includes Retrospect® backup software for Windows®. This
software incorporates data deduplication technology to provide an
extremely cost-effective solution, reducing the number of cartridges
required for effective backups by up to 20:1. Each time you run a backup,
Retrospect only stores the data that has changed, thus significantly
saving disk space. When you restore, the software automatically
reassembles the pieces so you get the full file as it existed on the date
you are requesting. This process dramatically increases the number
of backup data sets that can be stored on a single disk, as well as
the number of available recovery points. The result is reduced media
handling, simplified management, and faster restores.

Quantum RDX cartridges contain a rugged mobile hard drive in a
highly effective shock-resistant mounting. They are available in
various capacities, all of which are read and write compatible and
interchangeable with any RDX dock. Choose from the easily integrated
SATA or USB internal dock, which can be quickly installed into a server
or desktop 5.25-inch bay, or the convenient tabletop USB dock that can
be connected in seconds.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Fast

Backups complete in minutes.
Quick access to data for fast restores.

Simple

Every backup appears as a full backup;
no hunting through incrementals like
tape. To restore, simply pick a recovery
date, then drag and drop files from
Windows Explorer.

Reliable

Ruggedized cartridges can withstand
a one-meter drop to a hard surface
without damage, and they have a
30-year archive shelf life in a normal
office environment.

Flexible

On-site/Off-site data backup.

Affordable

Cartridges can be used for months
without filling up, thanks to data
deduplication technology.

Powerful

The Retrospect software includes
integrated protection for your Microsoft
Exchange email system and SQL
Server databases.

Secure

Supports government-level security
with the highest level AES 256-bit
Encryption Standard.
