Frequently Asked Questions
What is OBDR? Can I use it?
OBDR refers to HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, which allows automated recovery of a complete
system at the touch of a button using the last full backup tape. It is a very useful feature, but is not
available on all platforms. It is fully tested and supported only on HP ProLiant server platforms. See
www.hp.com/go/obdr
Can I manage without DR functionality?
Yes. You can manually reinstall your operating system and applications - including the backup
application software - and then use the latest backup tapes to recover critical data.
This is the slowest and most labor-intensive method of recovery, but it is still effective.
This method generally requires the user to install HP Data Protector Express Software and import the
backup media into the application before carrying out the restore. This is required to re-build the catalog
that the application uses for the restore process.
