Tailored backup projects
Tailored backup projects
DEFINE YOUR REQUIREMENTS BEFORE CHOOSING THE RIGHT RDX SOLUTION. Some projects are not just about selecting a product: data volume, backup frequency, retention period, remote sites, existing software and recovery constraints must be clearly defined. Tandberg Data helps you structure your needs and identify the RDX approach that best fits your environment.
When a backup need becomes a project
A simple need can become a project as soon as several constraints overlap: data volume, backup frequency, retention period, remote sites, existing software or expected recovery time. The goal is to clarify these points before choosing the right RDX drive, station or cartridges.
REASONS TO SCOPE YOUR PROJECT WITH RDX
Why define your requirements before choosing?
A well-defined backup project helps avoid a solution that is oversized, insufficient or difficult to operate. RDX can fit multiple scenarios, from a simple drive to a rackmount station, provided data volumes, media rotation and recovery constraints are clarified.
Qualified need
Identify the data to protect, volumes, frequencies and business constraints.
Guided solution
Direct the project toward QuikStor, QuikStation or RDX cartridges depending on the scenario.
Clear procedure
Define rotation, storage, retention and recovery before deployment.
Define rotation, retention and storage
Cartridge selection depends on backup frequency, the number of versions to keep and the storage location. Daily, weekly or monthly rotation does not require the same organization. The project should also define who handles the media, where it is stored and how recovery is tested.
Guide the project toward the right RDX family
Depending on the requirement, the project may involve an RDX QuikStor drive, an RDX QuikStation, cartridge rotation or a combination of several elements. This approach supports simple, multi-site, rackmount, archiving or offline protection scenarios.
