In a direct attach configuration, where the tape drive is attached to a standalone server, you can use backup software that is designed for a single server environment. In network configurations you will need backup software that supports enterprise environments. HP, Symantec, Legato, Yosemite and Computer Associates all provide suitable products. Further details about these and other products that may be appropriate can be found on our connectivity web site. 1.

However, you can only use this feature if your system configuration and backup application also support it. See "Using HP OBDR" on page 51.) 4. Make sure you have a backup application that supports HP StorageWorks DAT tape drives and download any upgrades or patches, if required. 18 Drivers and backup software
