 1 Installation
NOTE:
This guide applies to the full Data Protector product. If you have a Single Server Edition, some of the platforms and features
mentioned do not apply.

This guide is designed to help you get started quickly. Using the default settings, you can quickly and easily install the
software, create a backup, and do a restore.

Installing on Windows systems

NOTE: For full installation details, see the HP Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide in
the Docs directory of the top level of the Windows installation DVD-ROM.

Prerequisites
• Management server (Cell Manager):

◦ 256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)

◦ 190 MB of disk space +2% of the size of planned backup data

• Backup client (Disk Agent):

◦ 64 MB of RAM (128 MB recommended)

◦ 10 MB of disk space

• Device server (Media Agent):

◦ 64 MB of RAM (128 MB recommended)

◦ 20 MB of disk space

• Original user interface (GUI):

◦ 256MB of RAM

◦ 150MB of disk space

• Java user interface (Java GUI):
◦ 1000 MHz Intel Pentium or equivalent (2.6 GHz Intel Pentium IV or equivalent recommended)

◦ 512 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)

◦ 40 MB of disk space (60 MB recommended)
◦ For a Java GUI Client, a supported Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (for details, see the HP Data Protector
Product Announcements, Software Notes, and References)

• Guides
◦ 85 MB for guides in PDF format
If you plan to install all the components on the same system, the system must have 305 MB of disk space and at least 256 MB
of RAM (512 MB recommended).

These figures are the requirements for the components only. They do not include space allocation for the operating system, its
paging file, and other applications.
Installing Cell Manager
For details of supported platforms, see the latest support matrices at http:// support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/manuals.

Prepare for installation

1. On the system that is to be your Data Protector Cell Manager:

a. For a standalone tape drive, connect the tape drive to the Data Protector Cell Manager and power it on.

4 Installation
 b. Enable TCP/IP protocol and hostname resolution.
To check if they are enabled:
1) Verify that name resolution is working properly by finding the name of the computer:
• Open Command Prompt (on Windows systems) or Terminal (on UNIX systems).

• Run: hostname
The name of your computer will be displayed.

2) Verify name resolution and reachability:

• Run: nslookup Hostname

• Trigger a reverse DNS lookup, by running: nslookup IPAddress
The network is set up properly when you get the same hostname and IP address from both commands.
If you have problems with your network, see the HP Data Protector Troubleshooting Guide.

c. Assign a static IP address.

d. Deactivate the Windows tape device and changer drivers (recommended). Only use these drivers in exceptional
cases, for example, when other applications access this tape device.
2. Log on to the system as Administrator (on Windows systems) or root (on UNIX systems).
3. Set up a separate operating system account for use with Data Protector, such as dpadmin. On Windows systems, ensure
that:

• The user is a member of Administrators and Backup Operators user groups.

• The user has logon rights as service (Windows advanced rights).

This user account is needed solely to provide the required services. It will not be used to log on to an individual's system.
The account should be used as the Data Protector service account in server and client installations. In a Windows domain,
you only need to set up the account on the Primary Domain Controller.

Install Data Protector

1. Insert the Windows installation DVD-ROM and start the wizard:
• 32-bit systems: \i386\setup.exe

• 64-bit AMD64/Intel EM64T systems: \x8664\setup.exe

• 64-bit Itanium systems: \ia64\setup.exe

2. Select Cell Manager and follow the wizard using the default values.
3. In the Account information window, enter the user name and password for the user account you created in step 3 of the
installation preparation procedure.

Configuring backup devices

Configuring a file library device

These instructions are for a simple file library device configuration on a local or shared drive using mostly default options. For
other possibilities see the HP Data Protector Help index: "configuring backup devices".
Before you start: On Windows, disable the compression option.
1. Create a directory on a local or shared disk.
Example: C:\FileLibrary
2. Start Data Protector Manager.
3. Select Devices & Media from the Context List.
4. Right-click Devices and select Add Device to open the device definition pane.
5. Enter details:

Device ñame Example: File Library Device 01

Description optional
Client Select the client to which the device is connected.

Device type Select File Library.

Click Next.
6. Specify the directory for the file library device you created in step 1 and click Add.

Next steps 9
 7. Click Next. In the Results Area, select the media type: File.
8. Click Finish.

Configuring a standalone drive

Autoconfiguration
1. Select Devices & Media from the Context List.
2. Right-click Device.
3. Select Autoconfigure Devices.
4. Select your system from the list and click Finish.
Your device is configured automatically.

Manual configuration
Follow the instruction for a file library device above, up to step 4. Then:
1. Enter details:

Device name Example: LTO-3 Tape Drive

9. Click Save As to save the backup specification for later use.
7. Click Start Backup to run the backup.
1. When the Start Backup window opens, click OK to start the backup using the default specifications.
The Backup window shows you the progress of the backup session. The Session Information window will tell you when
12. the backup is finished.

Defining a schedule for a simple backup routine

As an example, suppose you want to define a schedule with a full backup every Friday and incremental backups on other
weekdays, all at 21:00h and retained for 4 weeks, plus a full backup each month retained for 12 months.
Data Protector has several predefined schedules. "Weekly full" is close to what is needed—full every Friday and Incrl every
weekday at 21:00h. Incrl backups back up all changes since the last full backup.
To create the defined schedule:
1. When defining your backup specification, atstep 3 in "Manual configuration" (page 10), go to the Schedule tab.
2. Click Predefined.
3. Select Weekly full and click OK.
4. Click Add.
5. Under Recurring, select Monthly.
Under Time options, specify the time for the monthly backup.
Under Session options, from the Backup protection drop-down list, select Weeks and enter the number of weeks in the
box below (1 year = 52 weeks).
