What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst

HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows:
Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
Deduplication may occur on the media server or on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
Backup applications to copy jobs between HP StoreOnce Backup systems. All configuration
is carried out from the backup application, which makes this an attractive alternative to using
the replication function on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
This function requires a backup application that supports HP StoreOnce Catalyst. The HP OST 2.0
plugins should also be installed on any Media Servers that will be transferring data to the StoreOnce
Backup system. Refer to
applications.
IMPORTANT:
taken directly from the backup application. It is strongly recommended to give jobs and media
server groupings names on the backup application that will also be meaningful when they are
displayed in the StoreOnce Catalyst pages.
