During the event “Discover” HP announced the newest version of Data Protector – 8.00. The main approach is scalability for HP’s latest version of backup and recovery software. More than thousand clients can be protected by Data Protector, up to 1000 sessions can run concurrently, up to 100000 sessions per day – in a single cell environment. When using the Manager-of-Manager feature up to 5000 clients can be protected and up to 2.5 billions media can be managed with HP Data Protector. With this and other enhancements the software scales over 100x better than the competition. Of course all the successful established technologies, as federated deduplication using StoreOnce and many other new features are included within the new version. Data Protector 8.00 can be downloaded from HP website, it is available on http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotector
Wird in der Version 8 auch die momentane Backupgeschwindigkeit angezeigt bzw. auch sind auch Tool zur Flaschenhalsdiagnose enthalten?
Hi Benno,
nein ist derzeit nicht enthalten, es kann aber weiterhin omnispeed verwendet werden.

Über Selfsolve steht die Version jetzt zum Download bereit. Eine Sache macht mich allerdings stutzig: Requires new licenses:YES. Weiß jemand was es damit auf sich hat? Kommt das license enforcement? Nicht das uns das stören würde, aber gerade B2D werden gerne -sagen wir mal “überprovisioniert” 🙂
Hallo,
Zu diesem Thema bitte die PDF’s im Doc Verzeichnis lesen.

Hello Daniel,
The software is available for download … I’ve installed it yesterday and there are some big changes :
– New licenses keys needed
– IDB improvement (there are new services for the IDB)
– The IDB must now be backed up alone (you can’t not mix it with filesystem backup)
…
Best Regards,
Christophe
This is a really major DP release. With the new IDB it can now compete on scalability with NetBackup (it uses PostGreSQL, the same DB as NetBackup).
New license keys are required if this is a new installation. However, the old license keys will still work if it’s a migration from older DP versions.
Oh, there\’s some mistake with the scalability here – I\’ll post from the product announcement doc:
Backup infrastructure scalability
Backup infrastructure metric Limit
Clients in a Data Protector cell 5000
Cell Managers (cells) in a Data Protector Manager-of-Managers (MoM) cell 50
Total number of clients in a MoM environment 50 000
Basic Internal Database capacity Limit
Data Protector sessions stored in the Internal Database (IDB) 100 million (100 000 000)
Filenames with metadata referenced in the IDB 1 trillion (10^12)
Backup objects referenced in the IDB 1 million (1 000 000)
Backup object versions referenced in the IDB 50 million (50 000 000)
DCBF has now gone to 2.0, and can scale to 2PB per DC directory. The default size per DC file is 10TB, but you can use omnidbutil to set higher sizes.
Hi,
Does anyone know if there will be granular recovery on a file Level in av VM backup (VMware or HyperV) ?
So that we don’t have to restore a whole disk, just for 1 file.
Regards
Heino
Hi Heino,
at the moment you have to restore the whole disk, even if you want to use Granular Recovery (for VM – Hyper-V not yet available).
There are plans to have the feature you are looking for, but I assume this will not come by end of this year.
Best regards
Daniel
