Product Highlights
	Software in the Box	The HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives include HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express
		Single Server Edition backup/recovery software and the HP StorageWorks Data Protector
		Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option. Data Protector Express Single Server Edition is an
		easy-to-use backup application to protect a single Windows, Linux or NetWare server. The Data
		Protector Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) option provides automated system
		recovery of that server following a major hardware or software failure. The fastest method to
		recovery the server is to use the Data Protector Express BMDR option and the One Button
		Disaster Recovery feature of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives.
		As well as getting the Data Protector Express Single Server Edition software as part of the HP
		StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives solution, purchasers can also upgrade to the class-leading Data

		Express to recognise the value of the in-box software. Upgrading to Data Protector Express allows
		network backup of servers and Windows desktops, extends the disk-to-disk backup capacity and
		capability and permits the additions of agents and extensions to increase scale and performance
		of the backup infrastructure. For more information about the the in-box software please visit
