I would not recommend using Samba to backup your box via a Windows share (my personal opinion).
We use BackupExec 8.6 to backup our Red Hat boxes with the supplied Veritas Backup Exec Agent for UNIX. It works like a charm. The UNIX agent is on the BE CD in the Agents folder. Untar the agent and read the INSTALL or README file (I can't remember which file is in there) and follow the instructions and you're off. If you have more than one NIC in the box, make sure that you specify which IP address the agent should use because BE gets unhappy if you don't specify and your backups will fail. Once you have configured the agent on your Linux box it should show up in the Unix Agents section under 'Remote Selections' in your BackupExec console. Good luck, Andy. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Schmeits [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 11:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: veritas 8.5 We are in the process of buying a new file server. Will be storing about 100G of data for our window users. Are considering using RH7.x running Samba and are curious of everyones success rate of incorporating a Samba machine into a NT domain. Please note that are backup machine is a Win2k box running Veritas 8.5 and trying to figure out how am I going to backup all these shares on a Linux machine? 8.5 does have a program a person installs on the file server which allows to be backuped from Veritas. Has anybody been backing up a Linux box using Veritas 8.5 what is your success rate? Doesn't it get weird backing up files from linux to Windows? I often restore files on a regular base so I am very concerned about that function. -- ********************************** Roger Schmeits System Analyst Clarkson College http://www.clarksoncollege.edu Omaha, NE USA 1-800-647-5500 x22542 ********************************* -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
