Table 9 Restore scenarios
From HP D2D Backup System
From a physical tape drive connected to
the HP D2D
Basic file restore Use the backup application to restore files
from the HP D2D to the host, as required.
Restore after
host failure
1. Rebuild the host and reconnect to the
HP D2D.
2. Use the backup application to restore
files from the HP D2D to the host.
Restore after site
failure
1. Replace the HP D2D.
2. Rebuild the host and reconnect to the
HP D2D.
3. Import the cartridge from the attached
tape drive.
• If the tape drive is attached to the
HP D2D, use the Web Management
Interface to import the cartridge to
the HP D2D mail slot. Then use
the backup application to move the
cartridge back into the autoloader
slot on the HP D2D and restore
data to the host. See Chapter 9.
• If the tape drive is attached to the
host, use the backup application
to restore data to the host. See
Chapter 10.
NOTE:
If you have a backup application that supports One-Button Disaster Recovery and have exported an
OBDR cartridge, you will be able to run OBDR from a tape drive connected directly to the host. This
allows you to reconnect automatically and restores the host system from that cartridge. Please refer to
the tape drive and backup application documentation for more information. The tape drive must also
support OBDR.
