This four-day instructor-led course covers the integration of HP Sofware Storage Data Protector with HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays and Oracle databases. The EVA snapshot, snapclone and zero downtime backup concepts are discussed then implemented with practical labs. For Oracle databases, RMAN along with zero downtime backup and instant recovery are reviewed with further labs to re-enforce each theory module.
