The HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System provides reliable, consolidated data protection for up to four servers in a single, self-managing device.

It works with your backup software application to fully automate daily backup jobs, requiring less manual handling - a real benefit for organizations with limited IT resources. The HP D2D Backup System also increases the reliability of your backups by reducing the risk of human error in managing tape drive and media hardware, the two major causes of failed backups.

This disk-to-disk backup solution lets you easily restore lost or corrupted files from online backups within minutes. The HP D2D Backup System gets users back to work quickly, reducing downtime costs and frustration while contributing to the overall productivity of your business.

The HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System works with your backup software application to provide automated backup for multiple servers at less than the cost of a single LTO tape autoloader. Consolidating your backups onto a self-managing, disk-based device simplifies your life.
