Backing Up and Restoring Files
This chapter describes how to use an installed tape drive to back
up files stored on the server and to restore files to the server.
It includes:
•
Using an internal or external HP DAT or DLT tape drive
•
Using tapes
•
Scheduling backups
•
Making a disaster recovery tape backup
•
Restoring specific file requests
•
Restoring the entire volume from backup
Share access to the HD Server allows it to be backed up using a
network backup process. A network drive can be mapped to any
share on the HD Server (including the entire volume, if available as
a share) for backup purposes.

Drives
The HP SureStore HD Server 4000 provides a backup and restore
facility for tape drives installed in the server (internal drive) and/or
attached to its SCSI connector (external drives). See chapter 8 for
the drives available and for installation instructions. One model of
HD Server, product number HP 3291A, has an HP DAT 40i internal
DDS-4 tape drive already installed.
