OBDR (One-Button
Disaster Recovery)
With HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, you can quickly, reliably and simply restore your entire
ProLiant system just by inserting the most recent backup tape and pushing one button on the tape
drive. Your HP StorageWorks DAT drive will restore your operating system, configuration,
applications, drivers and data files. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and
manuals. And with downtime reduced, the costs of recovery are minimized too. There's no need to
make a new set of disaster recovery disks each time the network configuration is altered or a
peripheral is added. Recovering from a disaster manually at a stressful time makes for an error-
prone process. The sheer simplicity of HP One-Button Disaster Recovery means less human
error. Backup and disaster recovery preparation -- previously two separate tasks -- become one
process. OBDR is simply the best disaster recovery product for small to medium systems. For a
current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the tape backup
