The Replica Solution for Server Backup

With Stac Replica Backup HP SureStore Tape Edition, you get a powerful backup
program that makes file backup as easy as pressing a button.
Designed for ease-of-use, Replica provides desktop shortcuts that allow you to
quickly configure automatic daily backups, perform immediate backups, and
restore files and folders from your backup tape--without special training or
expertise.
The HP SureStore Tape Edition of Replica includes a Configuration Wizard that
walks you through the process of setting up a default configuration that
automatically backs up designated volumes at the same time, every day. All you
have to do is make sure that a tape cartridge is inserted in the server's HP
SureStore tape drive.
Replica also provides a desktop shortcut for performing one-step, unscheduled
backups any time you wish. Opening the shortcut starts an immediate backup of
the same volumes you designated for backup with the Configuration Wizard.
Once the server data is backed up, it is just as easy to restore lost or damaged
files by mounting the appropriate backup tape as a volume that your server
recognizes as a removable drive. After the tape is mounted, you can use the
familiar Windows Explorer, or File Manager to copy the files to the desired
location.
