HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for Microsoft SQL Server Licenses - Manual (Page 8)

NOTE: If any of the components mentioned in the additional system requirements are not installed,
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager might not function properly.
Recovery Manager Requirements
•
Using a single backup server
•
Creating online virtual copies of a database for performing one-click backup.
•
Adding the database online to perform a file copy restore at the database level. To restore
an SQL database that is detached, you can either mount a previously created snapshot of this
database to the production server and copy over the database files, or you can issue a volume
restore at the database level. For more information about restoring volumes, see
“Recovery
Manager Commands” (page 54) .
•
Using the same version of HP 3PAR OS, HP 3PAR VSS Provider, and HP 3PAR Recovery
Manager for SQL Software on all backup and production systems.
•
Installing the same version of the HP 3PAR CLI software on both the backup and the production
systems.
•
Using the SQL Server VSS Writer service.
•
Exporting volumes to a host must be in the form of base volumes; exporting snapshot volumes
is not supported.
Running Recovery Manager on a Japanese or a Chinese OS
CAUTION: For full compatibility with Recovery Manager, you must use English-language naming
conventions in your SQL Server setup (for example, for domain names, instance and database
names, path names, and so on).
Recovery Manager does not function correctly when any language other than English is used, even
for areas in which SQL Server itself supports Japanese or Chinese characters.
