Assuming that "these hp storage" somehow
involves Tru64:

http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/ARH9FETE/TITLE.HTM

That last is a frame set, so a direct link is
not convenient, but look for:

As usual, a better description of your
hardware and software could be helpful.

I usually make vdump copies of all file systems to tape. System can easily be restored from vdump backups.

If we did not answer to your question, can you be more specific?
