New backups can now run to the Source Appliance and replication will run normally without further configuration. 76 Replication functions - HP D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 77
the administrator now wants to recover data to the server.

What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows: • Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system - HP D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 81
Catalyst stores: the targets/device types in which backups are stored on the HP StoreOnce Backup system • StoreOnce Catalyst items: the items stored in the StoreOnce Catalyst stores on the HP StoreOnce Backup system • StoreOnce Catalyst clients: the generic term for applications that connect - HP D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 82

VSA Backup system user guide
Abstract
This is the user guide for the HP StoreOnce VSA Backup system. It describes all tasks that can be carried out by an administrator
or operator from the Web Management Console (GUI). Some of these tasks may also be carried out from the StoreOnce
Command Line Interface (CLI) and the some of those commands are included in this guide. This guide does not describe all
tasks that can only be carried out from the StoreOnce CLI and/or the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager (SEM) GUI.
