Overview

HP Data Protector Express Software is easy to install, easy to use and easy to manage backup and recovery software designed specifically for smaller organizations. It robustly, yet simply, protects single machines or small networks in Windows and Linux environments. Protection is delivered for file servers, application servers and Windows workstations. Data Protector Express makes backup to disk and tape very easy and also supports backup to CD/DVD media. Powerful features such as D2Any2Any backup, Bare Metal Disaster Recovery and self-tuning parallel data streams minimize backup and recovery times without compromising ease of use. Each server license includes all the features of Data Protector Express. This makes licensing, budgeting and purchasing the backup and recovery software simple, predictable and very good value.

What's new

  • Support for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, RHEL 5.6, RHEL 6.0, Exchange 2010 SP1.
  • Enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) to make backup and recovery tasks even simpler to run and manage.
  • Improved performance on larger deployments.

Product Key Selling Points

Radically Simple and Massive Value All-Inclusive Licensing Scheme
  • Each server license includes all the functionality of Data Protector Express - unlike other backup and recovery software, no need to purchase option licenses to enable advanced features, additional capacity or application integration.
  • Simply purchase a license for each server to be protected and stack additional licenses as needed. Start with a 1-pack, 3-pack or 10-pack and add others as needed.
  • Includes protection for an unlimited number of Windows XP, Vista and 7 machines.
Network Backup and Centralized Management
  • Each licensed machine joins the Data Protector Express Backup Domain to enable centralized management.
  • All machines in the Backup Domain can be backed up using a single job or multiple jobs can be created to meet the needs of different applications and data sets.
  • All backup resources visible and available to all machines in the Backup Domain.
Online Application Backup Included in Every License
  • Any licensed server running Microsoft Exchange Server or Microsoft SQL Server can be backed up without taking the application offline.
  • Integration with Exchange and SQL Server removes the need for a backup window and enables various recovery options.
  • Mailbox level Protection for Exchange 2010 enables the recovery of individual mailboxes without restoring the entire Exchange database.
Flexible Backup Device Location, Management and Sharing
  • Any backup device in the Data Protector Express Backup Domain is visible and accessible to all machines in the Backup Domain and any machine is able to act as local media server for high performance backup or as or network media server consolidated backup.
  • Support for multi-drive and multi-slot backup targets (tape libraries, VTLs and Data Protector Express Virtual Libraries) that can be configured using the precise number of drives and media slots to meet backup needs rather than to match the drive and slot licensing of the backup software.
  • Automatic device discovery to easily identify available backup targets.
