What do you dislike about OpenText Data Protector?

all the different components needed to make it work with various system can sometimes be confusion and often one component or another will not work properly and due to this you have to TRY many different paths to get the proper support person who knows the component you are dealing with. many time I had to rely on GOOGLE search to find the solution because HP support took too long to get to the right person.

3.5/5
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.
