Auf der Veranstaltung „Discover“ wurde die neue Version von HP Data Protector, 8.00, bekanntgegeben. Der Schwerpunkt bei der neuesten Version von HP’s Backup&Recovery Software liegt auf Skalierbarkeit. Mehrere tausend Clients können nun mit Data Protector verwaltet werden, 1000 Sicherungen gleichzeitig durchgeführt werden, 100000 Sicherungen täglich ausgeführt werden – in einer einzigen Zelle. In einer Manager-of-Manager Umgebung lassen sich bis zu 50000 Clients und 2,5 Milliarden Medien verwalten. Damit und mit weiteren Highlights in der neuen Software skaliert Data Protector 100 mal besser (und mehr) verglichen mit dem Mitbewerb. Natürlich sind auch erfolgreich etablierte Technologien, wie federated deduplication (StoreOnce) und neue Funktionen im Produkt enthalten. Die neue Software kann unter http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotector heruntergeladen werden.
Unfortutantly the ProductAnnouncement stated that
„Virtual full backup is only supported for filesystem data. Data Protector integrations do not
support the functionality“
Being able to do synthetic full backup on vmware backups is greatly needed. do you have any insight if its on the roadmap in the nearest future?
Hi Dennis,
Not seen this feature on any roadmap. You may raise an enhancement request.

Is there an upgrade path from DP 6.2 straight to DP 8? I tried to get the Installation Guide but couldn’t find the link. Thanks.
Hi Mark,
yes, you can directly upgrade your 6.X Version to DP 8, at least you need to make sure that (in case of Windows), you are running on W2K8 64Bit or Windows 2012.

The new IDB database Backup requires its own on-line extension license on remote cell managers.
Hi,
this is a bug in current version and will be fixed with the first available patch.
Best regards

Daniel,
I“ve upgraded an 6.11 CM to 8.00 and now its wants an on-line extension lic; just a local backup on the CM of its IDB, this is the problem you are mentioning ?
Stefan.
Hi Stefan,
yes, this is one of the problems… You may ask HP to get an emergency license until the problem has been fixed.

Anyone evaluating it right now? Have a test server, trying to figure out how to setup storeonce for dedup. Docuementation is not really clear on how to setup the stores. Will have a scsi san in about a month but would like to test with the server’s local storage.
Hi
Somebody knows why is not possible to choice the option \\\“advanced scheduler\\\“ (Back Specifications) ?
TIA
jago
Hi Jago,
the Advanced Scheduler“ was not enabled in final release, as it was not ready until the release in summer. Some parts, like Copy Jobs, etc. were not finished. I’m pretty sure it will be enabled in December release.
