Rapid Data Access (RDA) with NetVault Backup and with vRanger provides the logical disk interface that can be used with network storage devices.

The plug-in is installed by default on the NetVault Backup and vRanger servers and the DR Series system when the latest software updates are installed. Using the DR Rapid plug-in, the DMAs can take full advantage of key DR Series system features like replication and data deduplication.

Dedupe: When this mode is selected, dedupe writes occur when data is sent from a media server to the DR Series system after optimization is applied to the data; deduplication processing would occur on a NetVault Backup client, for example.
