HP Data Protector does the job well.
HP Data Protector was being used by my organization to backup Oracle Database related systems.
- Longevity. We could go back 6 months+ to recover data.
- Reliability. Always worked.
- I had light interaction with this system, so it would not be fair for me to say where there is a need for improvement. It worked the way we need it do to get the job done.

Data Protector better for Unix than Windows
We used HP Data Protector as a backup for all of our Windows and Unix servers. We had the server side node installed on HP-UX while the backup drives used were the HP MSL 6030 and MSL 2024. It offered a simple backup solution on a reliable backend. The trouble we ran into most of all were the limitations at the time to write to disk efficiently. They were behind the ball for us in terms of deduplication technology at the time.
- It is very reliable on the server side to provide a trustworthy back end.
- The install was simple and provided an easy way to install and backup Unix servers.
- The support was always helpful and responded quickly.
- They seem to be behind the ball on adapting newer technology.
- Importing backup indexes were not the easiest task and required a Unix admin.
- The client side install was not very compact.

Experienced in Data Protector
HP Data Protector is our enterprise wide backup and recovery solution, we have been using HP Data Protector for 17 years. We currently have two cell managers one that is on the current version 9.04 and one that is on version 7.03 for our legacy operating systems, Oracle and MSSQL databases. This flexibility allows us the ability to backup and restore critical production systems and databases with the older version which supports these architectures and platforms and also have a solution that supports the latest operating systems and databases with our 9.04 cell.
- Easy to install and set up cell manager, deploy clients and configure backup devices. Integration options for databases and virtual environments makes backup and restore of these systems easier through the GUI.
- Scheduling options allow the user to set specific times for backups of a host or group them together with the advance scheduling option and set priorities of which systems get access to backup devices.
- Licensing options are tiered and can scale from a very small environment to a larger one when needed.
- Granular recovery extension plugins need to be documented better and kept up to date, this would aid in the installation of these plugins.
- When deploying Granular Recovery Extensions for VMware and Exchange, security options of the cell need to be turned off (Secure Cell and Encrypted Communication).
- Reporting on scheduled backups via the advanced scheduling option are non-existent, this needs to be available.

Don't buy it
HP Data Protector was being used for back ups.
- Nothing it is an average product.
- Tech support - every person I spoke with had a different idea on how to fix a problem. Many times they caused the problem resulting in double or triple work.
