HP OpenVMS enterprise backup solutions

The overall strategy for the HP OpenVMS enterprise backup solutions is to provide customers with a choice of data protection solutions that best suit their particular needs. These choices span the HP OpenVMS environment, where HP OpenVMS provided solutions are based on the BACKUP utility, to the heterogeneous storage environment, where HP OpenVMS is just one environment where data must be archived in a common fashion within a storage area network (SAN). The solutions available to customers in both of these realms are developed and provided by either HP or key HP partners.

Enterprise backup utilities and products

HP OpenVMS BACKUP utility
The HP OpenVMS operating system includes the BACKUP utility as a part of its base operating environment. This utility provides both full-volume and incremental file backups. Individual files, selected directory structures, or all files in a volume can be backed up and restored. This utility will continue to be enhanced and supported with future versions of HP OpenVMS, including the port to HP OpenVMS for Integrity servers. The BACKUP utility in OpenVMS Version 8.4 has been enhanced to create and restore a compressed saveset (archived data format) on disks and magnetic tapes. The OpenVMS Version 8.4 BACKUP utility is also extended to support volume sizes up to 2 TiB.
