Replace DAT with RDX
Are you still using DAT Tapes? Compare DAT to RDX, the perfect Windows
Backup Device!
Most IT professionals would prefer to perform full backups
within their environments. But, to save time and money, they
end up doing incremental tape backups using the common
grandfather-father-son (GFS) backup rotation scheme.
The downside of incremental backups is that the restore
operation requires more tapes and more time than
restoring the data from the last full backup.
Choose RDX as the DAT Alternative
Performing a full backup of 60GB of data using DAT72
requires two tapes per week day and a cleaning
operation at least once a week. To achieve data
retention with GFS in use, you’ll need additional tapes
for the weekly and monthly full backups.
Smart Backup
So, wouldn’t it be great to have just one media
format that does it all for you?
Tandberg Data RDX technology with AccuGuard
backup software provides you with the ability
to establish a solid GFS rotation plan and
allows you to archive your data off-site for
even greater data protection. This type of
backup rotation strategy requires three pieces
of RDX media, with one piece being sent to
another location for safekeeping.
RDX with AccuGuard Software
With AccuGuard software, a daily full backup that
incorporates deduplication technology results in the
following:
>
Reduction
in the amount of data that needs to be backed up
>
Reduction
in the amount of time you need to complete the
daily backup
>
Reduction
in media needed for a GFS data retention time
>
Reduction
in the number of pieces of media necessary for a
full restore so you don’t have to hassle with multiple pieces
of media
>
Increase
in backup and efficiency
A complete data protection strategy including disaster
recovery could be two RDX pieces of media for on-site
media rotation and a third piece of media for off-site
media storage.
With RDX and AccuGuard, full backups are simple,
automatic and lightning fast so users experience fewer
backup problems and much better data protection
