SymantecBackupExecTM11d how to back up LINUX system files-Linux Enterprise applications-Linux server application information, the following is a detailed description. There has been a data backup CASE in the past few days. The customer's environment includes windows and linux systems. The Backup system uses Symantec Backup ExecTM 11d, which has been used for many windows client backups before, but linux system backups have never been formally performed before. After reading the Backup system administrator documentation, Symantec Backup ExecTM provides two types of file Backup for linux systems, the Legacy Agent installed on the client and Backup Exec Remote Agent for Linux and Unix Server are respectively. Because the previous client program is older, fewer users are currently used. In addition, I have not succeeded in configuring according to the Administrator's document. Finally, the Backup Exec Remote Agent for Linux and Unix Server Client program is used for testing. The implementation steps are written here.
