HP DRTape Disaster Recovery Utility is a data recovery tool which replaces the traditional recovery methods associated with

manual downloads from floppy or CD-ROM. DRTape is a firmware driven software utility that provides a disaster recovery

solution for ProLiant servers. Embedded in the firmware of each supported tape device, DRTape uses HP tape drives to

emulate bootable drive devices, similar to floppy and CD-ROM drives. When implemented, DRTape can provide for the

complete recovery of server software and data. The recovery process requires the use of only one tape cartridge, in

conjunction with the SmartStart CD, and can typically be completed in less than an hour.

**NOTE: DRTape does not support HP Smart Array Controllers. Please see "HP DRTape Compatibility Matrix" at:
