Data Protector 5.5 Direct Backup Support Matrix
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 5.5
Direct Backup Support Matrix
Version: 4.4 Date: August 28, 2009
Split mirror or snapshot technology is used to assure point-in-time stability of data. The xcopy engine is used to write data
segments from disk to tape.
Restore is done via the SAN though traditional methods (local restore from tape to server to disk). Currently data cannot be
restored using a serverless method.
The direct backup media agent is required for initiating the drive commands for data transfer to the media. The backup
media agent is only supported on HPUX 11.11.
As the data movement is not platform independent, the application host is also only supported on HP-UX 11.11.
Disk Image/Raw Logical Volume backups and restores are supported. In addition, Oracle 9i integration is supported.
