HP Data Protector Migration

Data Strategies Interchange today reported on the successful completion of HP Data Protector Migration of  Exchange mailboxes from the backup tapes.

The end-user, a major US confectionery company, was facing possible litigation and needed to restore a number of mailboxes from its HP Data Protector backup tapes. Data Strategies was contracted for this service, because of its capabilities to non-natively restore data from Data Protector backup tapes, both for file systems backups and agents based backups, aka HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Integrations.

Data Strategies was provided with a set of Data Protector catalog backup tapes and a subset of the e-mail server backup tapes. In cooperation with the customer, e-mail servers and datastore names were identified and Data Strategies’ proprietary MediaGenie Proteus application was used to extract datastores and log files from tape using proven off-line document migration platform. Offline migration is a process where DSI performs the migration optimized for best performance independent of end client’s hardware and without hindrance to their daily activities. A 3rd party MS Exchange utility was used to extract the required mailboxes from the offline datastores to accomplish the HP Data Protector Migration.
