Overview

HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for Microsoft SQL Server can be used with either Symantec
NetBackup or HP Data Protector to back up and restore the virtual copies created by Recovery
Manager.

If you are using backup software in the backup environment, you must install a backup master or
client or media on the backup server.

NOTE:

For information about the supported versions of Symantec NetBackup and HP Data

Protector, see the latest HP 3PAR InForm OS Configuration Matrix. To obtain a copy of this
