Product Details

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 onsite/offsite data protection needs of small businesses and branch offices.

In addition, the included GoProtect backup software for Windows 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, GoProtect 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.

Quantum RDX cartridges contain a rugged 2.5-inch 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 or RD1000 dock.
