HP B6960-96035 manual

Set data protection to 5 years for all backup specifications except for Exchange_A, which is sued to back up personal mail. Set data protection for this backup specification to 3 months.

•Concurrency

Set to 5 to allow up to five Disk Agents to concurrently write data to the library. This will increase backup performance.

•Media Pool

Select appropriate media pools and media to be used for backup.

•Reporting and Notifications

Email notifications will be set up for backup administrators for mount requests, low database space, device errors, and on end of session events for all the backup specifications. Optionally, email or broadcast notifications will be set up for those end users interested in being notified about the success of backups of their systems.

To enable all users to easily determine the status of backup, set up client backup information on the company home page as follows:

1.Configure a report group with a Client Backup Report for each client. The report should be logged to the file in HTML format.

2.Schedule the report group.

3.Link the logged files to the company home page.

•Vaulting

Vaulting is a process of storing media to a safe location for a specified period of time.

Media will be moved to the vault once a week and replaced by new media in the HP StorageWorks DLT 4228w Library, the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library, and HP StorageWorks DAT24 autoloaders. All actions excluding the actual moving of media to the vault are done by the software solution including queries done internally in the database to prevent the administrator from having to find media that require ejection.

Track the location of media that are moved to a vault. This is important when you want to restore from backups on media that were moved to the vault. Data Protector allows you to perform the following vaulting tasks:

• Generate reports showing media stored at a specific location with data protection expiring in a specified time

• Generate reports showing media used for backup within a specified time frame

• Display a list of backup specifications that have used specified media during the backup.
