HP Data Protector software interaction with deduplication enabled replication

Working with backup data on replicated cartridges

Once replicated cartridges have successfully been imported you can use the data for:

• restore tasks

• object copy tasks

Note: Replicated cartridges contain data of hosts not belonging to the cell into which those

cartridges have been imported!

You can browse for data to restore in two possible ways: either from the list of the backed-up

objects or from the list of sessions. The difference is in the scope of directories and files presented

for restore:

• Restore Objects with a list of backed-up objects classified by the client systems of the foreign cell

and by different data types (such as File System, Disk Image, Internal Database, and so on).

You can browse all the directories, files and versions that were backed up and are still

available for restore.

• Restore Sessions with a list of file system sessions with all objects backed up in these sessions.

You can choose to view only sessions from the last year, last month, or last week. You can

browse all objects that were backed up in this session (like any drives from all clients named in

the backup specification of the foreign cell), and all versions of this restore chain.

By default, the entire restore chain of the selected directories or files is restored, but you can

also restore data from a single session only. You cannot perform restore of the online database

integrations from a specific backup session.
