Windows Backup with RDX QuikStor by Tandberg Data
Many users take advantage of the backup capabilities that are included with Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. The built-in Windows Backup included with current Windows operating systems, however, does not support removable media such as CD, DVD and tape. In order to back up the system or user data with removable storage products and Windows Backup, a user must back up to a fixed local disk or incorporate third-party backup software that recognizes the removable storage device.
RDX QuikStor removable disk technology by Tandberg Data solves this problem by providing a fixed disk mode that allows RDX removable storage to be used with Windows Backup for data protection operations. This includes scheduled backup system protection, along with media-rotation, for both onsite and off-site disaster recovery protection.

Take Advantage of Deduplication and Media Rotation
Windows Server 2012 provides data deduplication on disk volumes. This feature
dramatically saves disk space. As a result, backup volumes that are deduplicated
run faster as less data has to be transferred. This allows RDX QuikStor to
retain more backup versions which results in longer data retention. Windows
Backup is able to handle multiple backup targets to implement media rotation.
This media rotation allows users to keep multiple backup copies. With RDX
removable media, at least one backup copy can be stored off-site for disaster
recovery.
Benefits
The combination of Windows Backup and RDX QuikStor delivers an affordable and
easy-to- use solution with the benefit of a removable media for off-site
disaster recovery. Now, upgrading to the newest Windows OS is easy and there is
no need to add-third party software, which saves time and money.
