HP Store Once Backup System 4900 Installation and Configuration Guide

Software requirements
• Backup and restore to Virtual Tape Library targets requires software that supports tape libraries.
This software resides on a backup media server, not the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
StoreOnce target devices may be used with major backup applications from HP, Symantec,
EMC, Computer Associates and others.
• For supported Symantec backup products, the HP StoreOnce Catalyst OST plug-in application
is required on each backup application media server that will use the StoreOnce Catalyst
functionality. The minimum OST plug-in version is 2.1.
