Disk backup and restore 3

Starting HP Data Protector Express Software

Windows

Double-click the HP Data Protector Express Software shortcut on the desktop.

Or click the Start button and select HP from the Programs (or All Programs) submenu. Then select

Data Protector Express.

Linux

Open a terminal window. Then access the directory where you installed HP Data Protector Express

Software. Type ./dpadmin. For example:

[/usr/local/$insdirlinp$/$insdirlinc$]# ./dpadmin

You can also create a shortcut on your KDE or GNOME desktop. (See the HP Data Protector Express

Software Installation Guide for more information.)

NOTE: These tutorials use the common graphical user interface available on Windows and Linux systems.

The console interface operates similarly on NetWare systems.

The Login screen opens. The default user name for the HP Data Protector Express Software administrator

is Admin. There is no default password required for this user to log on.

Click OK to accept the user name and password.

NOTE: Although we will accept the default login for the purposes of our step-by-step instructions, we

strongly recommend that you assign a password before you start to use HP Data Protector Express

Software, particularly in a multi-user environment. See “How do I create or change my password?” in

Tutorial 5.

Navigating HP Data Protector Express Software 4

Navigating HP Data Protector Express Software

When you have logged onto HP Data Protector Express Software, the Main HP Data Protector Express

Software window appears.

1 Menu bar 5 Detail area

2 Favorites desk bar 6 Status bar

3 Tool bar 7 Administration desk bar

4 Tasks and information pane

Disk backup and restore 5

Detail Area

The Detail area is your main working area. Spend a few minutes seeing how the Detail Area changes

according to the selections that you make in the Desk bar and the Task and Information pane. For

example:

•Note how the desk bar is not always visible. For example, it is not relevant when you are working

through a wizard, so the left-most pane contains the Task and Information pane.

•If you prefer or need to work with a hierarchical (tree) view of the objects click the Folders button in

the tool bar.

•Have a look at the Help in the Task and Information pane. In addition to information about using HP

Data Protector Express Software, this menu also contains useful web links that enable you to register

your product and purchase options. See also “Help Menu” in Tutorial 1.

The backup and restore examples in this chapter give you the opportunity to find your way round HP Data

Protector Express Software in a structured fashion.

We will use two buttons, Home and Folders, in the tool bar to organize and display objects in the Detail

Area.

Home button

When you create your jobs and define your media, they are recorded by default as objects in the Home

folder. This means you can access them easily by just clicking on the Home button.

The Home folder is not a folder on your disk, but a view of information inside HP Data Protector Express

Software. As in any folder structure, we recommend that you create additional folders within the Home

folder to organize related objects. In our examples we will create folders for backup media and folders for

different types of backup jobs.

Once you have created an object in the Home folder, just right-click on it to display a drop-down menu

with relevant commands. For example, once you have created your backup job, you can run it any time.

Folders button

When you click on the Folders button in the tool bar, HP Data Protector Express Software displays a tree

hierarchy showing all the objects that have been created or defined within the Detail Area. This includes

backup media and the files on them, tape drives, network servers, back up jobs, restore jobs, and so on.

This hierarchy represents HP Data Protector Express Software’s catalog, which is its mechanism for

tracking objects together with associated security information. If you are responsible for administering HP

Data Protector Express Software, you will need to understand the catalog and how it is linked to a Storage

Management Domain. These concepts are beyond the scope of this guide, but are described in detail in

the User’s Guide and Technical Reference.

Navigating HP Data Protector Express Software 6

Quick Access Control (Windows only)

The Quick Access Control application is automatically installed on Windows systems when you select the

Quick or Recommended installation, and it is selected by default in a Custom installation. This

application provides simplified access to the primary features of HP Data Protector Express Software.

After installation, you will notice a Quick Access Control icon in the Windows System Tray (normally in

the bottom right-hand corner of the screen).

When you mouse over the Quick Access Control icon, a tool tip is displayed that contains further

information.

The appearance of the Quick Access Control icon changes to indicate the state of HP Data Protector

Express Software, thus providing continuous feedback. Right-clicking on the icon displays a menu that

provides quick access to HP Data Protector Express Software functions. See Tutorial 4: Using Quick

Access Control for further details.

Disk backup and restore 7

Disk-to-disk (D2D) Backup

HP Data Protector Express Software enables disk-to-disk (D2D) backups through the creation of virtual

libraries as backup targets. A virtual library emulates the operation of a physical tape library, and all the

features available in HP Data Protector Express Software to support backup to physical tape libraries are

supported for virtual libraries.

There are two stages to creating a D2D backup.

1. Create a virtual library.

2. Create a disk backup job that uses the virtual library as a target.

Create a virtual library

1. Run HP Data Protector Express Software and log in.

2. Select Wizards in the Favorites desk bar and double click D2D Device in the Detail Area.

3. Double-click Create Virtual Library in the Detail Area to start the Virtual Library Configuration

wizard..

Create a virtual library 8

4. At the Welcome prompt give the virtual library a name, such as “My First Virtual Library”. By

default the Machine hosting the Virtual Library is the local machine. Other machines can host the

Virtual Library when multiple machines are in the Data Protector Express Storage Domain. We will

accept the default of the local machine. Click Next.

5. In the next screen the disk location(s) used for the D2D backup is specified. The default location is a

new folder in the installation folder of HP Data Protector Express Software. We recommend that the

location is not on the same disk drive as the data that is to be backed up. We will not use the default

location. Remove the default location so that it is no longer an option. Select it in the Folder list and

click Delete. Click Yes.

6. Click Add… to specify a new storage folder. Use the Browse (magnifier) icon to select the folder,

which may be on any local or visible network drive (using the Uniform Naming Convention

\\[computer_name]\[shared_folder]\[resource]).

Disk backup and restore 9

When the location is selected, set Specify size (in GB) for storage to 18 (or appropriate value for

your backup jobs). This is the maximum and licensed capacity of the storage folder. There is a

maximum capacity of 36 GB for HP Data Protector Express Software Single Server Edition and a

maximum capacity of 8TB for HP Data Protector Express Software. Set Minimum free disk space

to 2048 (or a value that ensures you will have sufficient space for the backup).

7. This creates a new folder using the chosen location on disk. The Virtual Library is then configured

with virtual media drives and virtual storage slots. When using a media rotation scheme for backup, it

is sensible to have sufficient virtual storage slots to cover the number of media in the rotation cycle.

We are creating a single one-time backup job, so we only need one slot. Change the Virtual storage

slots to 1 and keep the default of 1 Virtual media drive.

8. Click Next to go to the second and final Virtual Library Configuration screen. We will not change

any of the values on this screen. There are two tabs on this screen: Policy and

Encryption/Compression, which are only active if the D2D2Any option license is installed or the HP

Data Protector Express Software is running in evaluation mode. The D2DAny option requires that HP

Data Protector Express Software is installed, it is not an option with HP Data Protector Express

Software Single Server Edition. See the HP Data Protector Express Software User’s Guide and

Technical Reference for further details.

Create a virtual library 10

9. Now you are ready to create your backup job. Click Finish to exit the Create Virtual Library wizard.

A window confirms that the Virtual Library was created:

10. Click OK. To see the Virtual Library just created, click on Devices in the Favorites desk bar and

navigate down from the Network folder to see “My First Virtual Library”. For a different view, open

Folders in the Detail Area (by clicking on the Folders icon in the Toolbar).

NOTE: Our example also shows the Tape Device that we created in Tutorial 2, but it is now offline, as

indicated by the exclamation mark.
