HP 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
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 compatibility pages at:

Included software The HP DAT tape drives include the option to download Yosemite Server Backup Basic backup and recovery
software. It is an easy-to-use backup and recovery application that is installed in minutes and includes all
the features needed to protect a single machine by backup to a HP Storage tape drive. Yosemite Server
Backup Basic includes pre-defined and customizable media rotation schemes so you can define when you
backup and how long your backups are retained, while easily managing your DAT data cartridges.
Yosemite Server Backup Basic supports all the features of the DAT tape drives. The Data Protector Express
Basic Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) feature supports the One Button Disaster Recovery capability
of the DAT tape drives for fast and automated recovery of a ProLiant server after a major disaster. Backup
data compression can be turned on or off as part of the backup job specifications.

NOTE: Yosemite Server Backup Basic replaces Data Protector Express Basic as the software
(downloadable) included with the HP DAT tape drives.
Data Protector backup
and recovery software
If the HP DAT tape drive is for a large environment that requires UNIX support and/or enterprise class
application and feature support then HP Data Protector is the recommended backup and recovery
software. There is no upgrade path from Data Protector Express Basic or Data Protector Express to Data
Protector. If current or future requirements will require Data Protector, this software should be installed
from day 1. For more information and evaluation software please visit:
