Disk-to-disk (D2D) Backup
HP Data Protector Express Software enables disk-to-disk (D2D) backups through the creation of virtual
libraries as backup targets. A virtual library emulates the operation of a physical tape library, and all the
features available in HP Data Protector Express Software to support backup to physical tape libraries are
supported for virtual libraries.
There are two stages to creating a D2D backup.
1. Create a virtual library.
2. Create a disk backup job that uses the virtual library as a target.
Create a virtual library
1. Run HP Data Protector Express Software and log in.
2. Select Wizards in the Favorites desk bar and double click D2D Device in the Detail Area.
3. Double-click Create Virtual Library in the Detail Area to start the Virtual Library Configuration
wizard..
