Now I have set up my OpenFiler, I wish to perform backups of it using commercial software.

The problem, here, is that the commercial app I wish to use uses RPM, not conary for its distribution.

How do I get around this? Any ideas?

Quickest way to get going would be to use rpm2cpio

rpm2cpio package.rpm > package.cpio

cpio -idumv < package.cpio

That last op will create a tree containing folders and files that come with the package. You could do a dry run in /tmp and copy everything into place, or, alternatively (and might I add, at your own risk) run it in "/" so that the files are copied into the correct locations.

You might also need to add any custom library paths to /etc/ld.so.[d | conf] and run ldconfig.

Good luck.
