With HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, you can quickly, reliably and simply restore your entire system
just by inserting the most recent backup tape and pushing one button on the tape drive. Your HP
StorageWorks SDLT 600 tape drive will restore your operating system, configuration, applications,
drivers and data files. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and manuals, plus with
downtime reduced, the costs of recovery are minimized. There's no need to make a new set of disaster
recovery disks each time the network configuration is altered or a peripheral is added. Recovering from a
disaster manually at a stressful time makes for an error-prone process. The sheer simplicity of HP One-
Button Disaster Recovery means less human error. Backup and disaster recovery preparation - previously
two separate tasks - become one process. OBDR is simply the best disaster recovery product for small to
medium systems. For a current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the
tape backup compatibility pages on our Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/connect.
The HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 Tape Drive includes support for WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many)
functionality. The SDLT 600 WORM implementation is currently supported by Veritas NetBackup. As
more software support is added, updated support information can be found at:
http://www.hp.com/go/connect.
WORM technology provides an enhanced level of security against accidental or malicious alteration of
data on tape cartridges. WORM can be important when implementing data retention policies to be
compliant with regulations regarding the storage of data on non-rewritable, non-erasable media. The
SDLT 600 tape drive ships with support for WORM and can be set to WORM mode using the backup
application. Once the cartridge has been set up for WORM, you will be unable to erase or overwrite the
data on it, although you will be able to append data until the cartridge is full. WORM media can be
read as often as required. When implementing WORM an unformatted or blank Super DLTtape II
600GB data cartridge is required.
For information on how your HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 Tape Drive and WORM cartridge can help
your business meet information lifecycle management (ILM) and regulatory compliance requirements,
