RXT Sabre Family: Spectra® SabreDisk D500 simplifies Windows Backup

Spectra® SabreDisk D500 simplifies Windows Backup Spectra Logic’s SabreDisk D500 runs Microsoft® System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2006, which automatically backs up network-wide Windows file data to D500 SATA RAID. The SabreDisk D500 can be expanded in place from 2 TB up to 8 TB of raw storage, in 2 TB increments. The SabreDisk D500 integrates seamlessly into your Windows network, requiring only a few inches (3U) of rack space.

About DPM and D500
Because DPM is part of the Windows family of programs, installation and implementation is extremely easy. DPM protects your file data nearly continuously. DPM captures changes as they occur, storing that data on the file system. Those changes are written to the D500 disk up to once an hour. Snapshots for recovery can be taken up to eight times a day, as well, with the data stored on your SabreDisk D500. Because DPM writes data as a file system to the D500, users can retrieve their own files, greatly eliminating frustration and staff-time associated with recovering lost data.

SabreDisk D500 and DPM Protects File Data
DPM relies on disk, and SabreDisk D500 provides a reliable, scaleable solution that lets you start small and expand as necessary to manage your Windows file data. The D500 also works with tape library systems and existing backup software*, so that data can be protected for the long-term. Because Spectra Logic is the industry leader in secondary storage, the D500 is backed by a company that knows and helps define data protection.
*Check to make sure your backup software is DPM-aware.
