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

Restore the DPM clients directly
1. Switch to the Restore context. Expand Restore and Microsoft Volume Shadow
Copy Writers and select the client from which you want to restore the data.
2. Select the restore modes:
• Restore Components
Use this mode only if the client to which you want to restore supports VSS,
for example if you restore to Windows 2003 clients.
You can restore only entire replicas.
• Restore Files
The client does not need to support VSS and you can restore individual folders
or files.
3. When selecting the DPM writer for restore, select only the Replica components.
Do not select the DPM database.
4. Click the Options tab, and under Restore to another client enter the name of the
target client. Click Next.
5. Proceed as with general VSS writer restore. See “Restore procedure” on page 40
for the general VSS writer restore procedure.
Monitoring a VSS backup and restore
The Data Protector GUI enables you to monitor current or view previous backup and
restore sessions.
Monitoring is automatically activated when you start a restore or a backup
interactively.

follows:
1. In the Context List, click Monitor.
In the Results Area, all currently running sessions are listed. See Figure
