Product Overview
What Is HP SureStore
AutoBackup?
HP SureStore AutoBackup provides automatic backup of data held on the local hard
disks of PCs connected to a network. The PCs protected by HP SureStore
AutoBackup, also called clients, may have either fixed or remote access to the
network.
Administrators access HP SureStore AutoBackup via a web-based console for
normal administration tasks. They can also
download
an Advanced Administration
console. Users (or clients) install the HP SureStore AutoBackup Agent software via
their web browser, and can then run the HP SureStore AutoBackup Agent from their
PCs.
Backup Strategy
Typically, the strategy is to create a full daily backup of the entire data on the local
hard disk (the C: drive and any additional partitioned drives), where the backup is set
to run automatically in accordance with a defined schedule. Although the first
backup after installation may take a little time to run because it backs up all the data,
subsequent daily backups will take just a few minutes because it only writes changed
data to the appliance. When running, the automatic backup is transparent to the user,
who can continue working on the PC.
