  3. Overview and definition of backup policies.
  4. Review of the backup history for a defined backup task.
  5. Backup policy and task definition (1 or 2 locations).
  6. Virtual machine backup (backup replication).
  7. Restore the virtual machine (from the specified location).
  8. Restore individual files / folders (from a specific location).
  9. Replication of volumes:
    - defining replication settings (protection policies),

We are pleased to note that the attendance at HP Park was record-breaking and all those present stayed with us until the end 🙂 We understand that you are thinking about implementations and we would like to remind you that we have a pool of demonstration equipment. At your request, we will help you prepare the implementation of the test environment.
