The role of the HP D2D Backup System The HP D2D Backup System provides disk-based data protection with data deduplication. For additional data protection and disaster protection D2D Backup Systems can perform replication of data over low bandwidth WAN links. This is a good solution to move data - HP D2D | D2D NAS Integration with NetBackup (EH985-90936, March 2011) - Page 7

This mode requires the configuration of a respective local user on the NetBackup media server and configuration changes to the NetBackup services.

3. Now that the D2D Backup System is a member of the domain its shares can be managed from any computer on the domain by configuring a customized Microsoft Management Console (MMC) with the Shared Folders snap-in. To do this first open a new MMC window by typing mmc at the command prompt or from the - HP D2D | D2D NAS Integration with NetBackup (EH985-90936, March 2011) - Page 14

. NOTE: In some cases, when switching the D2D Backup System from No Authentication or User Authentication mode to AD mode, it may be necessary to log out and back into a Windows client before it is possible to access the D2D shares. This completes the process. To test access login as the domain - HP D2D | D2D NAS Integration with NetBackup (EH985-90936, March 2011) - Page 16
Having set up the shares the Symantec NetBackup administration console can be used to set up the Storage Units, as described in the next chapter. 16 Configure the D2D CIFS server - HP D2D | D2D NAS Integration with NetBackup (EH985-90936, March 2011) - Page 17

Incremental may only be retained 2 weeks. 8. Click Next> and specify the start time. 22 Backing up to and restoring - HP D2D | D2D NAS Integration with NetBackup (EH985-90936, March 2011) - Page 23

You may see that Device Manager service is not running. This is correct if no tape library is configured.) 24 Backing up to and restoring from - HP D2D | D2D NAS Integration with NetBackup (EH985-90936, March 2011) - Page 25
