HP Data Protector A.06.00 additional writers and HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP support for Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service integration

Prerequisites
• When configuring an Exchange Server 2007 LCR environment, ensure that the
original database and the database copy of the Exchange Server have the same
directory and file structure. Failing to do so will result in unsuccessful attempts to
mount the database after restore of an LCR copy to the location where original
database resides.
Writers specifics
This section describes specific information about VSS writers, that you need to take
into account before backing up or restoring the writers.
VSS writers either come with the Windows operating system or with applications.
For a complete list of supported VSS writers and providers refer to the latest support
matrices at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
The Data Protector Microsoft VSS integration does not provide any restore method
for writers requesting a custom restore. If a writer specifies a custom restore method,
it is only possible to restore the writer's data as plain files using the Data Protector
functionality. You can perform the custom restore manually. Refer to the writers
documentation for additional information on the restore methods.
NOTE:
Writers requiring custom restore methods are by default not shown by Data Protector.
The omnirc variable OB2VSS_SHOWALLWRITERS must be set to 1 for all writers to
be displayed.
Table 1 on page 25 provides a description of VSS writers.
