What do you like best about OpenText Data Protector?

Data Protector is very easy to use and once you get the hang of it it becomes second nature. It works really well with standard OS backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Data Protector?

We have had difficulties with various database backups. We had problems with writing multiple stream backups to D2D, than copy that backup to tape for DR. At the DR site we were not able to restore any of the multi stream backups and our DR test failed because of it. To get around this issue we had to switch to single stream backups and backups were taking upwards to 18 hours to complete (not good). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Data Protector:

It's a good product and when used with HP StoreOnce you'll see significant benefits with its speed and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Data Protector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our shop has been using DP for over 15 years. It's what we know and hard to get rid of something you're so used to. We are using DP for all of our standard OS backups and write all backups to HP's StoreOnce deduplication device. These backups run very fast and we have great success with this method. We also do object copy jobs across the country to fulfill our offsite and DR requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
