Data Protector software (originally Omniback) is automated backup and recovery software for single-server to enterprise environments, supporting disk storage or tape storage targets. It provides cross-platform, online backup of data for Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems. The last version to use the OmniBack name was version 4.1, which was retired in 2004.[1]
When Hewlett-Packard acquired Apollo Computer in 1989, the latter had already developed a backup system entitled the "OmniBack Network Backup System," which was available on the market at the time.[2] HP continued[3] to develop this product under the "OmniBack" name for the purpose of backing up individual files and raw disk partitions. A related but distinct product "OmniBack/Turbo" was developed for backing up databases.[4]
In 1996 HP released OmniBack II 2.0 and merged OmniBack II and OmniBack/Turbo into a single product, although it was still impossible to create a single job which would contain a database and a file system backup. It was offered for $3,800.[5] A Windows NT port was released with version 2.3.[6] Version 2.55 was released in 1997 and included support for HP-UX and IBM AIX.[7]
Data backup software protects data by creating copies of files, databases, and other critical information. These copies can then be used to restore the original data in the event of a loss or corruption.
Data backup software works by creating a copy of the selected data and storing it in a separate location, such as an external hard drive, cloud storage, or a backup server. This process can be automated, allowing for regular backups to occur on a scheduled basis.
The benefits include protection against data loss, increased data security, and peace of mind. With enterprise data backup software, businesses can ensure that they have a copy of critical information in the event of an outage, cyber-attack, or natural disaster.
Data backup software can be used to back up a wide range of data types, including files, databases, emails, and application data. Some data backup software solutions can even back up virtual machines, allowing for quick and easy restoration of entire environments.
The frequency of data backups will depend on the individual needs of each business, but a general rule of thumb is to back up data daily. However, for businesses that generate large amounts of data, more frequent backups may be required. It's important to assess the potential impact of data loss on your business and establish a backup frequency that minimizes the risk of data loss.
Configure Data Protector to block malicious processes affecting your PC
Data Protector protects your PC from malicious processes that intend to destabilize your PC, corrupt and/or steal your data and propagate the malicious nature to other good processes. You can add more folders, extensions, and can also exclude processes for scanning and protection.
Hi,
we have a similar challenge (with DataProtector) in our environment and to make the story short; there is no way to migrate the backup data without restore it and backup it again; so normaly this is not a practical or feasible option.
Without knowing anything about your environment think about the following;
. setup a new DataProtector Cell server or convert the physical to a VM
. setup an VTL or Dedup store (maybe with a cloud connect option for cheap long term backups)
. add the new VTL or Dedup store to your old!! Cell server and do a media/object copy of the needed data (dont forget the IDB!!)
If I try to add the system as a client within the Dataprotector GUI I get the same error number of 12:1625. Any ideas why I can't add this system back into the cell manager for backing it up. This is a critical system so we need to get a good backup of it.
As someone who has to work with what HP thinks passes as backup software (for another couple weeks at least), I can attest that you don't need to worry about what Data Protector says about your media state. It doesn't know what the hell it's talking about. that particular tape got marked bad as a result of the errors registered on it, independent of whether or not those errors are due to bad media, corrupt source data, a drive that needs cleaning... or even a network hiccup, and anything else that could possibly create a write or read error to or from the tape.
Simultaneously back up multiple VMs while greatly improving backup efficiency and ensuring data integrity. The number of maximum concurrent VM backups is automatically calculated based on available system resources to ensure an optimum user experience. A faster backup process enables comprehensive multi-version backup and shortens Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
Server downtime not only results in service interruptions, data loss, and reduced revenue, but it can also damage your brand image. According to Statista, more than 80% of global businesses lose more than US$400,000 per hour in average from server downtime. For example, an airline once suffered from great revenue losses due to server downtime that caused worldwide flight delays and disruptions. Therefore, a well-rounded server backup and recovery plan is of paramount importance.

If a VM on your production site goes down, you can quickly recover a point-of-time backed-up VM from your backup server to the production site (or to another operating host server) to minimize service downtime. By using customized functions (such as restore encryption, compression) you can further enhance data security. Additionally, Hyper Data Protector supports VMware vMotion that features Live Migration to ensure VM backup tasks stay active.
HP Data Protector (Micro Focus) software is an automated backup and recovery software supporting disk storage or tape storage targets. It provides cross-platform, backup of data for Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems.
The HP Data Protector architecture is based on the concept of a cell: a network environment that contains a Cell Manager, clients, and backup devices. The Cell Manager is the main system that centrally controls and manages the cell. It runs the core software and runs the backup and restore sessions, writing session information to the database.
You can back up your data to virtual tapes, archive the tapes, and manage your virtual tape library (VTL) devices by using Micro Focus (HPE) Data Protector v9.x. In this topic, you can find basic documentation on how to configure the Micro Focus (HPE) Data Protector software for a Tape Gateway and perform a backup and restore operation. For detailed information about how to use the Micro Focus (HPE) Data Protector software, see the Hewlett Packard documentation. For more information about compatible backup applications, see Supported third-party backup applications for a Tape Gateway.
If your Tape Gateway restarts for any reason during an ongoing backup job, the backup job will fail, and the tape drive in Data Protector is marked as Dirty. Data Protector also marks the tape quality as Poor, and prevents writing to the tape. To continue reading data from the tape, you must clean the drive and re-mount the tape. To complete the failed backup job, you must resubmit it on a new tape.
Virtualized environments are fully protected with Data Protector Express, while large scale heterogeneous environments benefit from the additional capabilities provided by Data Protector Premium. Offering scalable backup and recovery protection in data centers and remote offices. Protection is provided for business critical applications, operating systems and data with an integrated REST API. Built on a security model for a highly reliable and secure backup environment with simplified communication and secure peering between Data Protector components.
The Exploit Database is a CVE compliant archive of public exploits and corresponding vulnerable software, developed for use by penetration testers and vulnerability researchers. Our aim is to serve the most comprehensive collection of exploits gathered through direct submissions, mailing lists, as well as other public sources, and present them in a freely-available and easy-to-navigate database. The Exploit Database is a repository for exploits and proof-of-concepts rather than advisories, making it a valuable resource for those who need actionable data right away.
We currently rotate tapes every week so I have each tape filesystem is protected for 2 weeks. Essentially what I'm trying to do is have the that nights backup overwrite what already exists on the tape. After a couple of the backups didn't complete I started looking at the media and noticed that it was filling up, and we don't have that much data on either of the backup instances, which led me to find that the backups were appending instead of overwriting. Hopefully that makes since.
