DRTape-Ready (Disaster Recovery Utility)
Compaq’s DRTape Disaster Recovery Utility is a new data recovery tool which replaces the traditional recovery methods associated with manual
downloads from floppy or CD-ROM. DRTape is a firmware driven software utility that pr ovides a disaster recovery solution for Compaq ProLiant servers.
Embedded in the firmware of each supported tape device, DRTape uses Compaq tape drives to emulate bootable drive devices, similar to floppy and CDROM drives. When implemented, DRTape can provide for the complete recovery of server software and data. The recovery process requires the use of
only one tape cartridge, in conjunction with the Compaq SmartStart CD, and can typically be completed in less than an hour.
**Note: DRTape does not support Compaq Smart Array Controllers. Please see "Compaq DRTape Compatibility Matrix" at:
