in

Figure 8 Connecting to a dedicated backup network

NOTE:

Our example shows one PC that is connected to the LAN, but not to the Storage Network. This PC will

not be able to run the Installation wizard or connect to the HP D2D Backup System from the web. No

data from this PC can be directly backed up to the HP D2D Backup System.

Directly connected to a backup server on your main network

In this configuration, a specific server on the network is being used as a backup server. The HP D2D

Backup System has a dedicated connection directly to the storage server and not to the business network.
