OpenText Data Protector Use of Solution

MP
Individual Contributor at Unemployed customer

I was only working with Micro Focus Data Protector. I recently resigned and was transferred out of Micro Focus just two days ago.

It has not been longer than a year. We only recently started using 10.91 before upgrading from the previous version. And we recently worked on version 11 as well, which we successfully upgraded.

I had been working with Micro Focus Data Protector for 15 years, and I'm currently using DP 10.52.

I used to even deliver the training and travel across EMEA, I used to travel across Apigee, and we used to deliver the training and even collect their solutions. So we used to provide solutions, training, and even take over projects, as well as deliver and clear up their projects.

I was employed by Micro Focus until last week.

I started at this company in 2018, so I have been using Data Protector at this company since then or maybe a little before. They were using the solution before HPE sold it off to Micro Focus. The company was initially using it with MSL Tape Libraries. When I joined, StoreOnce had just been installed.

Storage / Backup Administrator at Saudi Basic Industries Corporation

We have been using Micro Focus Data Protector for six to seven years. 

We have been using HP solutions, comprising HP servers, storage, and even the HP operating system unit, for five to seven years. Micro Focus Data Protector was configured and installed during the last tech research around six to seven years ago, and it is still in production. Currently, we have replaced the solution with some other solution, but for the older tech research, Micro Focus Data Protector is still working.
