System is running backup or replication. See the
D2D Best Practices for VTL, NAS and Replication
implementations
for recommendations.
Pausing housekeeping
Click
Pause Housekeeping
to pause housekeeping altogether (perhaps while you decide how best to
configure blackout windows). This setting applies to all devices, libraries and shares on the HP
StoreOnce Backup System. It is not retained if there is a power failure or the HP StoreOnce Backup
System is powered down.
Housekeeping should not be left in the paused state for significant amounts of time; use it only as a

Shutdown (Administration)
This option allows you to shut down the HP StoreOnce Backup System cleanly. It is the only
recommended way of powering off the device. If you remove the power in any other way and a host
is carrying out a backup or restore, you may lose or corrupt data.
Click

WARNING!
Before shutting down always ensure that there are no backup or restore jobs in progress and that no
future jobs are scheduled to start whilst the system is shut down. If hosts do not automatically reconnect
to the HP StoreOnce Backup System when it restarts, you must reconnect manually from the iSCSI
Initiator on each host, see the HP StoreOnce Backup System Installation and Configuration Guide.

its build date. It also allows you to upgrade the software and the language pack. Whenever you
