The key concepts with OpenText Data Protector include centralized storage management and integration with cloud environments. It supports big data backups and automation, and allows for asynchronous backups. Additionally, Data Protector offers a web console for remote access, so you don't need to rely on a specific operating system. The software can be installed on a Windows machine or operated via command line on Linux systems.

Typically, our clients utilize OpenText Data Protector for Oracle firewall backup NDMPs and, more recently, for HANA. I have undergone training where OpenText explicitly stated their support for SAP HANA. Thus, we have a client base for whom we provide data protection using the Data Protector tool.

We don't use Micro Focus widely. It's used as a backup-to-tape system. Overall, we have about five users because a couple of our clients use it as well.

For various customers, Micro Focus Data Protector was used for backup and restore. As a technology consultant, I used to deliver projects, and we used to have some concerns about the previous version versus the latest version. Based on that, we had our release going through on these products, which we overcame, and we even succeeded in getting upgraded from the older versions to the latest versions. Customers wanted to upgrade from the previous version to the latest version, either on a Windows platform or on a Linux platform as well. They used to have multi-vendor storage boxes as well, and they wanted to know if it was compatible with this new version. They occasionally had an older version or older storage boxes that were incompatible. Based on that, we simply had the most recent support methods and shared them. They were attempting to access the new storage, and we tried to find where they were stuck to support those issues.

We have two different systems. We use Microsoft Azure Backup for VM machines and Micro Focus for our file server, database, and cloud backups, like Exchange Online and so forth.
We primarily use data protection in complex environments with large Oracle databases, Hyper-V, and VMWare hypervisors with replication of backup sets to DR site. It's used for data protection of large Oracle Databases, backups of small branch offices, zero-downtime backup of mission-critical databases with HPE storage (XP or 3PAR), data protection of most common NAS appliances through NDMP protocol, and the backup of Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Sharepoint, and the Microsoft SQL Server. It provides a consolidation of backups to the tape library and to the cloud provider.
The primary use case is mainly for data protection for both short-term and long-term retention. We are resellers of Micro Focus and I am a storage and backup engineer.
