About Quest DR Series systems

The Quest DR Series disk-based data protection appliances optimize utilization with in-line deduplication and compression, and reduce network bandwidth requirements with client-side deduplication processing and deduplicated replication.

These appliances incorporate innovative deduplication and compression technology to help you achieve a data-reduction level up to 15:1. As a result, you can retain more backup data for a longer period in the same footprint.

The Quest DR Series systems use the Plug-in for Rapid Data Access (RDA) to integrate its data storage operations with NetVault. This plug-in is automatically installed on the NetVault machines when you install the NetVault Server or Client software.

For more information about Quest DR Series systems, see the Quest DR Series system Administration Guide.
