The Data Protector lab introduces basic application architectural concepts such as the Data Protector backup domain (Cell), catalogue server (Cell Manager), media server, and client, by means of having the learner install a Data Protector backup server. Enterprise backup clients are preconfigured (MS SQL, MS Exchange, Oracle, fileservers, etc.). In having the learner configure the Data Protector backup server for normal operation, the learner is also introduced to the array of backup targets supported by Data Protector. After installation and configuration, the Data Protector lab walks the learner through typical tasks, such as performing a manual backup, scheduling a backup for later execution, performing a sample restore, and basic reporting.
