Cell Manager

HP Data Protector bases its backup management on the Cell Manager, which provides a central point for managing backup and restore sessions. Cell Manager executes Data Protector Software and Session Managers and also contains the Data Protector Internal Database (IDB). This database includes such details as backup duration, session IDs, and media IDs. Multiple cells can be configured into a group, enabling a single-point manager of cell managers.
