Using the ThirdParty Migration app, you can migrate any backup jobs that can be restored as files from a HP Data Protector (HPDP) client to the ObjectStore. The app restores the HPDP backup jobs to the staging client, and initiates the backup schedules for migration to ObjectStore.
Note: We migrate the third-party backups as files (file system data) from HPDP.
Before You Begin
Configure the ObjectStore for Migration.
Note the staging path that you configured on the ObjectStore client. The staging client that you configured on the ObjectStore client must be a computer which has HPDP and Commvault File System Agent installed.
You can choose either a Windows or a Linux client as the staging client for the migration. For example, if you are migrating data from Linux client, use a staging client on Linux.
Import the ThirdPartyMigration app from Commvault Store. For more information, see Importing an App.
For additional prerequisites, contact Commvault support.
