HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery is an exclusive feature of HP tape drives that

Disaster Recovery

provides fast and simple disaster recovery on HP ProLiant servers. OBDR is a firmware-driven

(OBDR)

utility that can restore a server's operating system, software applications, and data using a single

 

tape cartridge. Depending on the size of the data set, OBDR can provide system recovery in less

 

than one hour, reducing the recovery window by more than 50 percent and minimizing the risks

 

and costs associated with downtime. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and

 

manuals or make a new set of disaster recovery disks each time the network configuration is

 

altered or a peripheral is added. The sheer simplicity of OBDR means less human error. Backup

 

and disaster recovery preparation, previously two separate tasks, now become one process. For

 

more information about OBDR, visit the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/obdr.

 

For a current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the tape
