HP Data Protector A.06.11 support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

Limitations

You can perform instant recovery only on the client where the ZDB was created.

The only exception is when performing an instant recovery of an EVA snapclone, which can be

restored to a different client using the Data Protector CLI.

Instant recovery of an EVA snapclone to a different client is not supported through the Data

Protector GUI.

With the Disk Array XP provider in the resync mode or with EVAs, each connected to its own

system, you cannot perform a point-in-time recovery from a single ZDB session. To be able to

recover both an active copy and passive copies to the same point in time, you need multiple

ZDB sessions that were performed at the same time, one for the active and one for each passive

copy.
