Compatibility/Interoperability
HP RDX Continuous Data Protection Software is not supported on the HP ProLiant DL385 G7 server.
HP RDX Continuous Data Protection Software does not support non-NTFS system partitions.
HP RDX Continuous Data Protection Software is not supported with Remote Desktop. Although
Continuous Data Protection and Restore Points will be created in the background, a user connecting
to the computer through a Remote Desktop session will not see the system tray icon and cannot
effectively monitor or manage the HP RDX software. If a user cannot attach a keyboard and monitor
directly to the server, they can as a workaround, install and use an appropriate remote control software
application to connect remotely to the console-0 on that server.
Determining current version
Navigate to the About HP RDX option in the HP RDX menu.
