HP OpenView Storage Data Protector

What is it?
Software that provides automated data

protection for businesses with 24x7 availability

needs.
What does it do?
Data Protection: copies data onto a

secondary storage device, including disk or

tape, so that in case of a disaster, data can be
easily recovered.
Media management: easily manages the

library catalogues to keep track of all media

and copies of data for fast recovery.
Most important features:
Automated backups that scale from small

workgroups to multi-site, heterogeneous SAN

& NAS environments with hundreds or
thousands of servers.
Fully-integrated Zero-Downtime backup with

Instant-Recovery for HP StorageWorks XP

and EVA.
High performance backup to disk with object

level replication/migration to tape(s)

Split-Mirror Backup Concept (ZDB/IR)

True online backup for
integrated applications
XP

Application host

Split mirrors may used for

instant recovery or resynced
No performance impact on
applications during backup

Mirror synchronization before

or after backup
Automatic mirror rotation
