Integrating With Network Backup Applications - HP StorageWorks 8000 - NAS User Manual

Integrating with Network
Backup Applications
You can use third-party backup applications on any computer on the network
with a tape drive attached to perform a network backup. The HP NAS 8000
supports the following backup applications:
HP OpenView OmniBack II (page 161)
I
Computer Associates ARCserve 2000 (page 165)
I
Veritas Backup Exec (page 167)
I
Veritas NetBackup (page 169)

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (page 171)

Note These backup applications have been tested to be compatible
with the HP NAS 8000 device. Additionally, any backup
package that can back up a CIFS or NFS mount without using
the backup agent should be compatible. Contact the software
vendors for compatibility information with network-attached
storage devices.
Backup files are accessed using file protocols such as CIFS or NFS via the
network. Backup and restore via CIFS protocols preserves both CIFS and NFS
attributes. Backup and restore via NFS protocols only preserves NFS
attributes.
