Backing up the HP NetStorage 6000
Local Backup
You can use the backup application in the NetStorage web interface plus an
optional HP SureStore DLT Autoloader 818 or 1/9 to perform a local
backup. In a local backup session the data is transferred to the locally
attached Autoloader using a tape format that is unique to the HP NetStorage
6000. The data transfer does not interfere with your LAN traffic.
Remote Backup
You can use third-party backup applications on any computer on the
network with a tape drive attached to perform a remote backup. When you
run a remote backup, data from the HP NetStorage 6000 transfers over the
network to the remote server running the backup application, and then to
the server-attached tape device.
Tape backup is intended to replace the data of an entire drive. It is possible
to restore individual files, but only if you know the exact location of a file.
For a list of remote backup applications the HP NetStorage 6000 integrates
with, see Chapter 11, “Integrating with Remote Backup Applications.”
