Backup Software
To use the tape drive, you will need a backup application or utility that
supports your tape drive model. The HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM contains
free backup software for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT
and Novell NetWare. This software also provides full support for
HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, which allows complete system recovery
at the touch of a button using only the latest backup cartridge.
Note Not all system configurations and backup software are capable of
supporting HP One-Button Disaster Recovery.
• If you are installing the drive on a standalone PC or a client PC that
runs Windows 95/98, you can use the HP Colorado Backup II software.
• If you are installing the drive on a PC that runs Windows NT Server or
Novell Netware, you can use Replica Single Server for HP SureStore
Tape. If using Replica with NetWare, please see the README file on the
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM. Replica is not supported on NetWare 5.0.
• The tape drive must be installed before installing the software.
For the latest list of backup packages that support HP SureStore DAT
drives and advanced features such as HP One-Button Disaster Recovery
and TapeAlert, refer to our World Wide Web site (http://
www.hp.com/go/connect). The Selection section of this web site lists
backup software solutions suitable for your tape drive model and
operating system (including Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, IBM
OS/2, various UNIX systems, and Apple Macintosh).
Note Once you have installed your backup software, remember to carry out a
trial backup and restore.
