StoreOnce Catalyst targets for backup applications
NOTE: See Catalyst devices (page 58) for a more detailed description of StoreOnce Catalyst
technology and best practices.
HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a unique interface and is fundamentally different from virtual tape or
NAS. It provides the backup application with full control of backup and replication (called Catalyst
Copy).
HP StoreOnce Catalyst allows:
• Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
Deduplication may occur on the media server or on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
• Backup applications to copy jobs between HP StoreOnce Backup systems. All configuration
is carried out from the backup application, which makes this an attractive alternative to using
the replication function on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
This function requires a backup application that supports HP StoreOnce Catalyst. For up-to-date
details on supported applications refer to http://www.hp.com/go/ebs.
