HP StoreOnce B6000 Series - Active to Active Example; Many to One Example

Active to Active example
In the following example there are again two offices, each with an HP StoreOnce Backup System.
The HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office A is being used by the host server for backup and
restore and all Replication-Source libraries and shares are being replicated to matching
Replication-Target libraries and shares on the HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office B. However,
there is also a single host backing up to six cartridges on another library on the HP StoreOnce
Backup System in Office B. Two of those cartridges are configured to replicate to a Replication-Target
library on the HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office A. A replication license is required for both
HP StoreOnce Backup Systems.

Many to One example
In the following example a company has two remote offices and a central data center. There are
small HP StoreOnce Backup Systems in each remote office which host Replication-Source Libraries
and Shares for backup from local host machines. In the data center there is a larger StoreOnce
Backup System that is used solely to host Replication-Target Libraries and Shares for the remote
offices. A replication license is required only for the HP StoreOnce Backup System in the Data
Center. That license covers all Replication-Target libraries and shares.
This is also a good example of slot mapping. Library 2 on the Target Appliance is being used as
a Replication-Target Library by Replication-Source libraries in Office A and Office B. The
Replication-Source library in Office A is replicating two slots (colored red), while the
Replication-Source library in Office B is replicating five slots (colored red).
