Data Protector can be used in environments ranging from a single system to

thousands of systems on several sites. Due to the network component concept of

Data Protector, elements of the backup infrastructure can be placed in the topology

according to user requirements. The numerous backup options and alternatives

to setting up a backup infrastructure allow the implementation of virtually any

configuration you want. Data Protector also enables the use of advanced backup

concepts, such as synthetic backup and disk staging.

• Easy Central Administration

Through its easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), Data Protector allows you

to administer your complete backup environment from a single system. To ease

operation, the GUI can be installed on various systems to allow multiple

administrators to access Data Protector via their locally installed consoles. Even

multiple backup environments can be managed from a single system. The Data

Protector command-line interface allows you to manage Data Protector using

scripts.

• High Performance Backup

Data Protector enables you to perform backup to several hundred backup devices

simultaneously. It supports high-end devices in very large libraries. Various backup

possibilities, such as local backup, network backup, online backup, disk image

backup, synthetic backup, backup with object mirroring, and built-in support for

parallel data streams allow you to tune your backups to best fit your requirements.

• Data security

To enhance the security of your data, Data Protector lets you encrypt your backups

so that they become protected from others. Data Protector offers two data

encryption techniques: software-based and drive-based.

• Supporting Mixed Environments

As Data Protector supports heterogeneous environments, most features are common

to the UNIX and Windows platforms. The UNIX and Windows Cell Managers

can control all supported client platforms (UNIX, Windows, and Novell NetWare).

The Data Protector user interface can access the entire Data Protector functionality

on all supported platforms.

• Easy Installation for Mixed Environments

The Installation Server concept simplifies the installation and upgrade procedures.

To remotely install UNIX clients, you need an Installation Server for UNIX. To

remotely install Windows clients, you need an Installation Server for Windows.

The remote installation can be performed from any client with an installed Data

Protector GUI. For supported platforms for the Installation Server, see the HP Data

Protector product announcements, software notes, and references.

• High Availability Support
