Local and Remote Backups
Backup Overview
Although the HP NetStorage 6000 provides RAID 5 hardware protection
for your data, a backup strategy can prevent data loss in cases of inadvertent
deletion or system disasters such as theft and fire. Using features built-in to
your HP NetStorage 6000, a backup strategy can provide:
n Daily checkpoints for rapid recovery of individual files or directories,
plus. See “Creating Checkpoints” on page 5-9.
n Full backups on a weekly schedule for long-term storage and disaster
recovery. See “Creating and Executing Backup Jobs” on page 5-14.
To perform backups, you need to attach either an 818 or 1/9 HP SureStore
DLT Autoloader to your HP NetStorage 6000 (see the installation poster for
instructions). You can set up the tape device to perform two types of
backups:
n A local backup: Use the backup application in the NetStorage web
interface plus an optional 818 or 1/9 HP SureStore DLT Autoloader. See
“Performing a Local Backup” on page 5-5.
n A remote backup: Use one of several popular network remote backup
applications on a networked computer. See “Performing a Remote
Backup” on page 5-6.
