Testing Back Up and Recovery of Data on an HP-UX EVFS Volume Using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector

HP successfully tested the following scenarios to validate the effective backup and recovery of data on HP-UX EVFS volumes by using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector:

Test Scenario 1

To verify the full volume backup of encrypted data from an HP-UX EVFS volume to a tape device, and the recovery of data from the backup tape device to an HP-UX EVFS volume by using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector.

Note:

If the volume size is greater than the tape size, the data spans across multiple tapes. For more information, see Test Scenario 1A.

Test Scenario 2

To verify the file level incremental backup and recovery of data from an HP-UX EVFS volume to a disk partition that is also an encrypted volume, by using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector.

Test Scenario 3

To verify the backup and recovery of keys of an HP-UX EVFS volume, by using HP OpenView Storage Data Protector.
