The HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives include HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express
Single Server Edition backup/recovery software and the HP StorageWorks Data Protector
Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option. Data Protector Express Single Server Edition is an
easy-to-use backup application to protect a single Windows, Linux or NetWare server. The Data
Protector Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) option provides automated system
recovery of that server following a major hardware or software failure. The fastest method to
recovery the server is to use the Data Protector Express BMDR option and the One Button
Disaster Recovery feature of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives.
As well as getting the Data Protector Express Single Server Edition software as part of the HP
StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives solution, purchasers can also upgrade to the class-leading Data
Protector Express backup/recovery software. This is a special SKU, only available for new
customers of HP StorageWorks tape products that gives a significant discount off Data Protector
Express to recognise the value of the in-box software. Upgrading to Data Protector Express allows
network backup of servers and Windows desktops, extends the disk-to-disk backup capacity and
capability and permits the additions of agents and extensions to increase scale and performance
of the backup infrastructure. For more information about the the in-box software please visit

and/or enterprise class application and feature support then HP OpenView Storage Data Protector
is the recommended backup/recovery software. For more information and evaluation software

HP Ultrium Storage
Media
HP recommends that you use HP-branded cartridges in your HP Ultrium tape drive to assure the
highest level of protection for your valuable data. Our test program for HP Ultrium media is the
most thorough and comprehensive in the industry.
All HP cartridges must satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that relate directly to real
life situations, where real data and real businesses are at stake. The benefit of the HP brand
specification for media is consistent quality. Through the testing of thousands of HP drives and HP
cartridges, the ideal formulation for backup performance is defined and then continuously
monitored. This hugely resource-intensive process is unique to HP and affords deep insight into
the HP+HP backup solution for a wide range of environments and duty cycles. Your best choice
for ease of support and maximum dependability is to use HP-branded Ultrium cartridges at all
times.
