HP X510 - Manual (Page 5)

With the HP Data Vault, you can restore files, folders or even an entire hard drive
from centrally-stored backups. The HP Data Vault automatically searches your
network and discovers PCs with Windows Home Server ® connector software
installed, and then backs them up entirely. The HP Data Vault will back up files
for a Mac as well, working in conjunction with Time Machine. We’ve also
incorporated new image recovery features for Macs.
For better efficiency, Microsoft ® Windows Home Server ® backup software supports
de-duplication—it recognizes identical files (across all computers) and will only
save a single copy of redundant files, while keeping track of multiple versions by
date and originating PC.
