Installing Cell Manager
See
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
Select version 6.11 for platforms supported with this release.
Prepare for installation
1. On the system that is to be your Data Protector Cell Manager:
a. For a standalone tape drive, connect the tape device to the Data
Protector Cell Manager and power it on.
and search for “Data Protector”.
Page 3
b. Enable TCP/IP protocol and hostname resolution.
To check if they are enabled:
i. Verify name resolution is working properly by finding the name
of the computer:
• Open Command Prompt (on Windows platform) or
Terminal (on UNIX platform).
•Type:
hostname
The name of your computer will be displayed.
ii. Verify name resolution and reachability:
•Type:
nslookup Hostname
• Trigger a reverse DNS lookup, by typing:
nslookup IPAddress
The network is set up properly when you get the same
hostname and IP address from both commands.
( If you have problems with your network, see the HP Data Protector troubleshooting guide.)
c. Assign a static IP address.
d. Deactivate the Windows tape device and changer drivers
(recommended). (Only use these drivers in exceptional cases, for
example, when other applications access this tape device.)
2. Log on to the system as Administrator.
3. Set up a separate Windows account for use with Data Protector, such
dpadmin. Ensure that:
as
• The user is a member of Administrators and Backup Operators.
• The user has logon rights as service (Windows advanced rights).
This user account is needed solely to provide the required services. It
will not be used to log on to an individual’s system.
The account should be used as the Data Protector service account in
server and client installations. In a Windows domain, you only need
to set up the account on the Primary Domain Controller.
Install Data Protector
4. Insert the Windows installation DVD-ROM and run
\i386\setup.exe to start the wizard.
5. Select Cell Manager and follow the wizard using the default values.
6. In the Account information window, enter the user name and
password for the user account you created in step 3.
To run the program:
Start > Programs > HP Data Protector > Data Protector Manager
For further information, see the documentation in the \docs directory in
the top-level directory of the DVD-ROM.

Defining a schedule for a simple backup routine
As an example, suppose you want to define a schedule with a full
backup every Friday and incremental backups on other weekdays, all at
21:00h and retained for 4 weeks, plus a full backup each month
retained for 12 months.
Data Protector has several predefined schedules. “Weekly full” is close
to what is needed—full every Friday and Incr1 every weekday at
21:00h. Incr1 backups back up all changes since the last full backup.
To create the defined schedule:
1. When defining your backup specification, at step 7 (see page 12),
go to the Schedule tab.
2. Click Predefined.
3. Select Weekly full and click OK.
4. Click Add.
5. Under
Recurring, select Monthly.
Under
Time options, specify the time for the monthly backup.
Under
Session options, from the Backup protection
drop-down list, select Weeks and type the number of weeks in the
box below (1 year = 52 weeks).
6. Click OK.
7. Click Apply.
