Compaq VXA-1 Tape Drives with Retrospect Express Backup provide backup and restore solutions at speeds of up to 21.6 GB per hour. VXA-1 tape drives provide protection for Compaq commercial desktops and workstations while storing up to 66 GB of data on a single cartridge. VXA-1 Tape Drives are the first and only drives to use Discrete Packet Format (DPF) technology, which is similar to the already proven technology used in networking and Internet markets. DPF writes and reads uniquely addressed packets that can be read in any sequence, eliminating the need for conventional head and track alignment mechanisms. The ability of VXA-1 tape drives to randomly read these data packets increases reliability and reduces costs. Because VXA technology reads each packet individually and assembles them in order in memory, it is immune to head-to-track alignment sensitivities and problems related to the issues of skewed or curved data tracks. The result is a drive capable of restoring data from even seriously mishandled media.
