Supported configurations
Basic configuration: single disk array - dual host
Both hosts are connected to the same disk array, so that the I/O infrastructure of the RAID system is actually shared between the application client and the backup client.
As the application client and the backup client are two physically different systems, they can use their own resources (I/O channels, CPUs, memory, etc.) for their dedicated activities, such as backup, without interfering with each other. In this way, the impact of the backup on the database performance is minimal.

The Data Protector snapshot integrations allows automatic handling of disk array status as well as tight integration with applications such as SAP R/3, Oracle or Microsoft SQL or Exchange Server (to ensure data consistency and
