Since Micro Focus acquired HPE Software in 2017, it is now named Micro Focus Data Protector. It was released in July 2014 along with two companion products: HP Data Protector Management Pack and HP Backup Navigator. HP announced the release of HP Data Protector 9.0 (as a part of its Adaptive Backup & Recovery initiative) in May 2014. Since then, the product has been called HP Openview Storage Data Protector and HP StorageWorks Data Protector, or commonly just HP Data Protector. With version 5.0, the OmniBack name was dropped. Once complete however, this allowed quick ports through to Tru64 and Linux. Significant time was spent delivering version 3.5.2 for Solaris. In the interim, Hewlett-Packard withdrew development from Slovenia through to Germany. Version 2.55 was released in 1997 and included support for HP-UX and IBM AIX. A Windows NT port was released with version 2.3. In 1996 HP released OmniBack II 2.0 and merged OmniBack II and OmniBack/Turbo into a single product, although it was still impossible to create a single job which would contain a database and a file system backup. A related but distinct product 'OmniBack/Turbo' was developed for backing up databases. HP continued to develop this product under the 'OmniBack' name for the purpose of backing up individual files and raw disk partitions. When Hewlett-Packard acquired Apollo Computer in 1989, the latter had already developed a backup system entitled the 'OmniBack Network Backup System,' which was available on the market at the time. The last version to use the OmniBack name was version 4.1, which was retired in 2004. It provides cross-platform, online backup of data for Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems. Data Protector software (originally Omniback) is automated backup and recovery software for single-server to enterprise environments, supporting disk storage or tape storage targets.
