Data Protector 7.0

Posted on by 44 Comments

HP releases the new version of Data Protector – version 7.0. starting on 2012/04/16. The download will be available as usual from the HP DP site, orders for DVD media can be placed starting on 2012/05/01. As always, customers with a valid system handle are able to get the new version without additional costs (Passport account required), current licenses will work with the new version.

Version 7.00 is a complete installation (compared to the patch bundle with 6.21) and the most important feature is client side deduplication. The deduplication in version 7.00 is independent from the type of backup, no matter if you backup a filesystem or a database. An additional feature – GRE for Exchange was added which allows you to recover single items from Exchange. Last but not least, the integration of the Autonomy tools into Data Protector is build into this version of Data Protector.

  1. Ha, nun habe ich Sie auch gefunden.
    Vielen Dank!
    Wäre ja auch zu einfach gewesen, die Software da zu veröffentlichen, wo man auch die anderen Versionen bekommt….

  2. Hi Daniel,

    Thank you.
    I was able to download the HP Data Protector 7.00 English SW E-Media.

    Best regards

  3. Hallo nochmal,

    wird eigentlich immer noch diese furchtbare, inperformante und ineffiziente IDB benutzt? Gerüchte haben doch vor längerer Zeit einmal besagt, daß die 7er Version mit einer vernünftigen DB (Oracle, SQL?) laufen soll….

    Gruß Nils

  4. Hi Nils,

    ja die Velocis DB wird nach wie vor genutzt… Das Gerücht stimmt zwar, allerdings wurde aus der 6.22 die 7.0, so dass die großen Änderungen wie neue GUI, IDB, Scheduler noch ausstehen.

    Grüße
    Daniel

    PS: Wenn man die IDB auch pflegt, dann ist die gar nicht so übel, ich habe 6000 Sicherungen am Tag und da ist die OK.

  5. For people that upgraded from 6.22>7.0 (or possible earlier version)

    An error message or similar like this, could occour on random clients.

    It happend on 20% of my servers, and the solution/workaround for now is to add “OB2INETTIMEOUT=10”
    to omnirc on the clients.

    Its a confirmed bug with the 7.0 release (just ended a support case with hp support)

  6. Hi Dennis,

    thanks for the input. I’ll write an article and drop your name below.

    Best regards
