Chapter 4: Performing a Snapshot Backup on CA EVA
Use the Data Protector GUI to create a filesystem or disk image ZDB backup specification for a backup session that will run on CA
EVA configuration. After the backup specification is configured and saved, a zero downtime backup can be started using the Data
Protector GUI or scheduled using the Data Protector scheduler.
4.1 Configuring a CA EVA Backup Specification
Configuring a ZDB backup specification for CA EVA is similar to configuring a backup specification for EVA+BC. In both cases, the
same configuration procedure is used. With CA EVA, however, some of the EVA options do not apply, and there are a few additional
steps which you have to perform.
When configuring a CA EVA backup specification, some of the common EVA backup options have a different meaning when used for
CA EVA backup, and some additional CA EVA-specific options are available. For detailed information on these options, see “EVA
Backup Options” on page 19 and “CA EVA Backup Options” on page 24, respectively. For information of other common ZDB options
for EVA, refer to the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector EVA/VA/MSA Integration Guide.
