Before you schedule backups
Before you schedule backups, you must:
•
Install a tape library and add it to the same domain as your HP All-in-One Storage System, or
create a virtual library on your HP All-in-One Storage System using Data Protector Express.
•
Determine which Data Protector Express media rotation type meets the backup needs of your
environment and can be accommodated by your tape library or virtual library.
Installing a tape library or creating a virtual library that can accommodate the media rotation type
required by your environment requires advanced tape storage management experience. See
to learn more about tape storage.
Choosing a media rotation schedule or creating a virtual library on your HP All-in-One Storage System
requires experience with Data Protector Express. See Planning for Media Rotation and Creating a
Virtual Library of the Data Protector Express Users Guide and Technical Reference for more information.
NOTE:
The storage you specify for a virtual library in Data Protector Express is not reserved on your HP All-in-One
Storage System. Other applications, such as ASM, may use the storage space to host application storage
and/or shared folders. However, the storage you specify for virtual tapes in Data Protector Express is
reserved on your HP All-in-One Storage System.

Select the DVD-RW drive on your HP All-in-One Storage System, a tape library, or virtual library
