Backing Up Windows Systems

	Backing Up Windows Systems
Prerequisites	You have to install a Disk Agent on at least one Windows computer in
	the Data Protector cell. This computer then becomes a Disk Agent client.
	Files that do not reside on Disk Agent clients can be backed up if they
	share their disks with Disk Agent clients. It is better to install a Disk
	Agent on every Windows system that you want to back up.
	See “Backing Up Windows Shared Disks” on page 185 for details.
	See the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing
	Guide or online Help for instructions on how to install a Disk Agent.
	See the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Software Release Notes for
	a complete list of supported system platforms.
Limitations	• Files of up to 128 GB can be backed up on NTFS. Moved files cannot
	be detected during an incremental backup.
	• To run a VSS filesystem backup, your system must have at least one
	NTFS filesystem.
	Backing Up Filesystems (Logical Disk Drives)
Selecting Backup	Select a file, a directory, or a logical disk drive for backup in the Backup
Objects	wizard.
	See “Example of Creating a Backup Specification” on page 155 and
	“Using Backup Options” on page 225 for details.
What Is Backed	A filesystem backup of a disk drive involves reading the directory
Up?	structure and the contents of the files on the selected disk drive. The
	following data is also backed up along with the data in the file:
	• Full Unicode filenames
	• FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, and NTFS attributes
	Once a file is backed up, its archive attribute is cleared. You can
	change this behavior by setting the Do not use archive attribute
	option among the Advanced filesystem backup options in the backup
	specification. See online Help for details.
