Integration concepts

The Data Protector MPE/iX integration uses TurboSTORE/iX backup utility to initiate backup and restore. TurboSTORE/iX APIs are bundled with filesystem and use TurboSTORE/iX internally to back up and restore MPE/iX files. Among the other MPE/iX files, these APIs provide access to specific MPE/iX database files (ALLBASE/SQL and TurboIMAGE/XL) and POSIX filesystem files.

Configuring the integration

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have correctly installed and configured Data Protector. You need to have at least 15 MB of available disk space (5 MB for the installation package and 10 MB for the installation itself). See the HP Data Protector installation and licensing guide for instructions on how to install Data Protector in various architectures.
