HP Application Software Suite for Microsoft SQL manual Overview of Recovery Manager

Page 14

HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for SQL provides off-host backup and mounting capabilities. These features reduce the impact on the production server and also provide centralized management for the backup and restore functions across all SQL servers.

•Backup Server

A backup server is the central control point for Recovery Manager. It controls and manages the backup and restore on different SQL servers.

•SQL Server

The SQL Server can be a standalone or clustered server. The release version of SQL Server must be 2005, 2008, or 2008 R2. Versions prior to SQL Server 2005 are not supported.

•Connectivity

Both the backup server and SQL Server must be connected to the same HP 3PAR Storage System.
