I am looking at options for disk2disk and/or disk2disk2tape backups for
our 70 or so Windows servers and 4 HP-UX servers. We currently use
HP's Data Protector v5.10 to backup almost everything, and are very
happy with it. I thought that DP 5.10 has some D2D functionality
included for free, but in v5.5 it is expanded and costs $$ to license.
I wanted to try it out under 5.10 to do some testing, but I can't seem
to find anything in the documentation on D2D. There are some Snap and
Clone features, and something called ZDB (Zero Downtime Backup) - is
this all that is available in 5.1? Is anyone using the v5.5 or v6 D2D
functionality, and if so how do you like it?
Thanks~
