Options for archiving to tape
If your organization’s backup strategy also requires the ability to archive backed-up data for offsite
storage, there are two ways of achieving this:
• Attach an HP Ultrium tape library or tape drive directly to the HP D2D Backup System and use the
Tape Attach pages in the Web Management Interface to create and run manual and scheduled
jobs. This option is described in this chapter. Up to four tape drives may be connected (including
tape drives in libraries), but only one tape operation (import, export or copy) may take place
at any one time. For instructions on attaching the tape library or tape drive, please refer to
“ Attaching a physical tape drive ” on page 39.
NOTE:
Physical tape storage devices attached to the HP D2D Backup System can only be accessed by the
HP D2D Backup System using the Tape Attach pages. They do not appear as attached network
devices to the host system.
• Attach a supported tape storage device to a host machine on the storage network. If your
backup application supports the copying of data between devices, you can then use the backup
application to move data from the HP D2D Backup System to physical tape. This option is
described in “ Copy using a tape drive attached to the host ” on page 143.
NOTE:
Always refer to http://www.hp.com/go/connect or http://www.hp.com/go/ebs to fi nd out which
tape library and tape drive models are supported.
A note about terminology
Within this guide:
• Export refers to the process that moves the cartridge from the HP D2D Backup System to the attached
physical tape storage device.
• Import refers to the process that returns the cartridge from the attached tape storage device to the HP
D2D Backup System.
• Copy refers to the process that creates an additional copy of the cartridge on the physical tape
storage device.
Backup applications may use similar terminology to describe the processes for transferring data to a
slot where it can be exported to a backup device and for restoring it to the application’s database or
catalog after loss or failure. Please refer to the white papers on http://www.hp.com/support for further
clari fi cation.
